Cape Verde’s President Jorge Carlos Fonseca is closely following the restructuring and privatisation process of TACV, the national airline. He said he was “relatively satisfied” with the information provided by the government, according to the Lusa news agency.

Jorge Carlos Fonseca explained that the importance of transport to the Cape Verdean community prompted him to follow the matter “continuously”, with particular attention.
