Last flight of 2025 to São Vicente

São Vicente, December 2025

Let's say goodbye to 2025 with a smooth turnaround flight to São Vicente. This island really makes me willing to spend one holiday period to pay a visit to it. Maybe one day!

The aircraft was the A320neo, registration CS-TVO and named Garcia de Orta.

São Vicente, April 2016

This was my second time flying to São Vicente Island, in Cabo Verde. And during the approach the same déjà vu feeling: windy and bumpy but a great soft landing! Even on the ground the wind intensity was very high. With the aircraft stopped, during the turnaround time, the feeling inside the airplane was that of having light turbulence!

Approach!

... and my first time at São Vicente, in Cabo Verde. It was really windy with a bumpy approach and landing in a short runway (1975 m long).
