On July 20, 2023, Cabo Verde Airlines (VR) received its first fuel-efficient Boeing 737-8 MAX aircraft as part of the airline’s new “take-off” relaunch strategy. The delivery was marked with a special event in Cape Verde.
Cabo Verde Airlines plans to renew its fleet, expand its network to previously operated routes following the pandemic, and offer non-stop flights from its hubs in Praia and Sal.
“The delivery of an airplane with the capabilities of the 737-8 allows us to meet the growing travel demand to our archipelago country at the crossroads of four continents.”

According to Boeing, the 737 MAX reduces fuel use and emissions by 20% compared to the aircraft it replaces, thanks to CFM International LEAP-1B engines and advanced technology winglets.
