Cesária Évora Airport (Portuguese Aeroporto Internacional Cesária Évora) (IATA: VXEICAO: GVSV) is Cape Verde's fourth-busiest airport (after Sal, Praia, and Boa Vista), located on the island of São Vicente, nearly 5 كيلومتر (3.1 mi) from the centre of Mindelo. It is located in the valley area in the west of the island and is north of the village of São Pedro. Its runway is 2،000 متر (6،600 ft) long and its width is 45 متر (148 ft)[3]

History

The former historic terminal building in 2007.

The airport was constructed in 1959–1960. It was expanded to be able to host international flights between 2005 and 2009. The airport was officially renamed after the highly acclaimed singer Cesária Évora in 2012.[4] It has a modern terminal of about 11،000 متر مربع (120،000 sq ft) and has the capacity to process about 500 passengers an hour.[citation needed]

In July 2023 Vinci Airports finalized a financial arrangement to take over seven airports in Cape Verde under a concession agreement signed with the island country’s government. The company will be responsible for the funding, operation, maintenance, extension and modernization of the airports for 40 years, alongside its subsidiary ANA-Aeroportos de Portugal, which holds 30% of the concession company Cabo Verde Airports.[1]
