The Slot Coordination of Cape Verde is responsible for the allocation of slots at the airports of Sal (SID), Praia (RAI), and Boa Vista (BVC), thus ensuring operational efficiency and safety.
Essential to avoid congestion at airports and ensure that air operations occur in an organized and regular manner, slot coordination is also crucial for airlines, as it allows the optimization of their routes and operation schedules, and for the airport, ensuring better management of its resources and infrastructure.
