New easyJet direct flight from London Gatwick (UK) to Sal (Cabo Verde) celebrated by VINCI Airports
The airports of London Gatwick in the UK and Sal in Cabo Verde, both members of the VINCI Airports network, are now connected three times a week thanks to the new direct service offered by easyJet. It offers new connectivity for Cabo Verde to and from one of Europe’s most dynamic capitals.
VINCI Airports continues to strengthen air connectivity in Cabo Verde with the inauguration of this new route, reinforcing the integration of Sal within its global network. This new route reflects the growing interest of low-cost airlines in tropical destinations such as the Cabo Verde islands, which benefit not only from a pleasant climate year-round and a rich cultural offer but also from their strategic proximity to Europe. The new London Gatwick – Sal route will be ensured with three weekly frequencies, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
This development follows the momentum initiated in October 2024, when easyJet launched its first routes to West Africa via Sal, leveraging the VINCI Airports network. By offering flights from Porto and Lisbon – both airports operated by VINCI Airports – easyJet introduced four weekly flights to Lisbon and two to Porto. The airline recently doubled its Porto-Sal frequencies, further enhancing access to the archipelago.
