TAP Portugal to Launch New Service to Cape Verde Island

Portuguese Flag Carrier, TAP Portugal, will launch a new direct service between Porto and Sal in Cape Verde Island with effect from 20 June, 2020.
The one-weekly flight will operate on Saturdays using an Airbus A319 aircraft offering up to 144 seats in two classes.
Inbound flight will depart Porto at 10:25 p.m. and arrive on the Cape Verde island at 12:55 a.m. Outbound depart from Sal on Sundays at 1:45 a.m. and arrive at Port airport at 7:55 a.m. Times are local. Sal Island of volcanic origin, with its rocky plains and white sand deserts, is considered to be one of the best destinations for idyllic holidays.
Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and composed of sand from the desert, Sal has its own charm which enchants visitors not only because of its beauty, but also due to the fish and shellfish-based cuisine and Cape Verdean rhythms - morna and funaná - that guarantee good times.
