View source for List of airports in Cape Verde

{{Short description|none}}
This is a '''list of airports in Cape Verde''', which have been historically an important infrastructural need for the economy and development of the country, since being an [[archipelago]] makes it impossible to have terrestrial links between the main cities and towns. As such, in addition to frequent maritime connections, every island except [[Brava, Cape Verde|Brava]] and [[Santo Antão, Cape Verde|Santo Antão]] has a domestic airport.
Praia Airport, which was opened to international flights in September 2005, caters mainly to the Cape Verdian [[diaspora]]; Sal Airport, which previously handled all international flights, currently serves mainly the tourist industry of [[Sal, Cape Verde|Sal Island]]. In late 2009 the São Pedro Airport on the island of São Vicente became an international airport.
