Cabo Verde Airlines, also known as TACV, has reduced its US flight schedule by half from 11 September to 16 October 2026 due to runway rehabilitation work at Rhode Island's T. F. Green International Airport. The carrier will operate just one weekly flight, on Fridays, between Praia, Sal and Providence during this period. The airline intends to restore two weekly frequencies from 19 October 2026, with winter operations on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Rhode Island T. F. Green International Airport is currently rehabilitating Runway 5-23, its primary 8,700-foot runway, which is being funded by around US$30 million in federal grants. The route is operated using a Boeing 737 MAX 8 with 174 all-economy seats. The Providence link holds strategic importance for the Cape Verdean diaspora in the US and for remittances, family travel, and small-scale trade.
