Cape Verdean airline Cabo Verde Airlines (CVA) and Africa World Airlines (AWA) have entered into a partnership that will improve the connectivity in West Africa with Europe, North America and South America.
From February 1 2020 , CVA and AWA will start an integrated selling operation for the routes of both airlines.Cabo Verde Airlines is a scheduled air carrier flying non-stop from its international hub on Sal island, that connects four continents.
With this partnership, AWA’s passengers will be able to connect through CVA’s hub on Sal with other routes of the airlines, like Dakar in Senegal and the Cape Verdean islands of Santiago, São Filipe and São Vicente.
CVA also ensures regular flights to Lisbon, Paris, Milan and Rome (Europe), Boston and Washington DC, and to the Brazilian cities of Fortaleza, Porto Alegre, Recife, and Salvador.
Africa World Airlines operates in five cities in Ghana: Accra, Kumasi, Tamale, Takoradi and Wa. AWA also serves Lagos – point of connection with CVA – and Abuja in Nigeria, Monrovia in Liberia, as well as Freetown in Sierra Leone and Abidjan in Ivory Coast.
This partnership will allow passengers from both airlines to travel between airlines with only one ticket, checking in only once, and allowing baggage to reach the final destination.
