Cape Verde is the second-most-popular destination for charter flights departing from Portuguese capital Lisbon. A total of 19,600 passengers flew from Lisbon International Airport to Cape Verde in the month of June, an 18.7% increase over the same period last year. Cape Verde proved to be an up-and-coming charter destination in June, with an increase in the number of passengers (round trip) of 50.5%, for a total of 4,511. A 31.6% increase was registered on flights to the island of Boa Vista (to 2,411) and 80.3% on flights to and from Sal (to 2,100). The flights, however, were too few for the hotel supply, which has practically doubled in recent times.

After the Caribbean, Cape Verde is the country with the most charter flight traffic from Cape Verde. Meanwhile, the two commercial airlines making regular scheduled flights from Lisbon to Cape Verde, TAP Portugal and TACV Cabo Verde Airlines, transported 82,900 passengers, 2.1% more than a year ago.
