langsam scheint es ernst zu werden auf cen cap verden, mit dem neuen flughafen in praia:

The new Praia International Airport will receive its first test flight today, July 28, at 5:10 pm. The test takes place as a team of specialists from New Zealand prepares to conclude the process for the certification of the airport.

 

 

Although neither Airport and Air Security company ASA nor the Civil Aeronautics Institute will venture a date for the opening of Praia’s new international airport, the test flight appears to be sign that the structure will begin operations in the near future.

The certification process of the new Praia International Airport has entered its final phase with the arrival of a team of consultants from New Zealand in Cape Verde. The information comes from Mário Lopes Paixão, the president of the administrative council of Cape Verde’s Airport and Air Security company ASA. Civil Aeronautics Institute (IAC) president Valdemar Correia, for his part, says he is not concerned with setting a specific date for the opening of the airport, but rather with working to have it certified as soon as possible.

 

The final word on the certification of the new Praia International Airport belongs to the Civil Aeronautics Institute. But ASA president Mário Paixão expresses optimism and predicts that the process will be concluded before the end of July. “Things are moving along at a good pace, thanks to the cooperation of everyone involved in the process. This is a gratifying experience for all of us at ASA and IAC. This is being assisted by experienced professionals,” assured Mário Paixão, who recalled that this type of cooperation is not common in the certification sector on an international level.

 

Meanwhile, according to Paixão, many of ASA’s services have already moved to the new airport, and the task force named by the government to make the Praia International Airport operational is working alongside ASA, the Cape Verdean Meteorological Institute and TACV Cabo Verde Airlines to have the structure ready to function as soon as possible. “The opening of the new Praia airport depends on the results of the certification, which itself depends on ASA and the IAC, but it is being duly worked upon alongside TACV in order to assure a safe transfer from Francisco Mendes Airport to the new Praia International Airport. Everything is under control, safe and on the path desired by all,” said Mário Paixão, who nevertheless declined to specify a definite date for the opening of the airport.

 

With the team from the IAC, reinforced by the presence of the specialists from New Zealand on Sal, where they will remain until Wednesday, July 28, Valdemar Correia also declined to specify a date for the conclusion of the process. “Until we have all of the data in our hands, we can’t specify a date. An airport has various different elements, including airlines, customers, customs, and the police, among others. We’re going to certify everything, not just the infrastructure itself,” concluded Correia.
