Rhode Island’s TF Green airport to add flights to Cabo Verde in May – The Boston Globe

“The return of this service is a meaningful addition to PVD’s non-stop portfolio, which is now at 39 destinations,” Iftikhar Ahmad, president and CEO of the Rhode Island Airport Corporation, said in a statement. “Rhode Island has one of the strongest Cabo Verdean communities in the United States, and this service creates a direct, convenient connection between families, cultures, and economies.”

Initial operations of the year-round flight will include a Monday afternoon arrival in Rhode Island with an immediate return flight to Cabo Verde, according to the airport.

“The airline is also evaluating the addition of a second weekly frequency later in 2026, which would further expand access for both leisure travelers and the Cabo Verdean community and position PVD as a key U.S. gateway to the archipelago,” the airport said.

According to officials, additional schedule details and booking information will be released by TACV Cabo Verde Airlines in the coming weeks.

Breeze Airways began offering service to Cancun, Mexico, earlier this year, restoring international service in Rhode Island after BermudAir concluded a short-lived, twice-weekly direct flight last summer.

When the Cancun service was announced in September, it was described as an eight-week trial route that was expected to conclude in mid-April 2026.

In an email on Thursday, Ryne Williams, a spokesperson for Breeze, confirmed the nonstop service ends on Saturday but will return on Dec. 19.
