The Cape Verde government approved Resolution No. 94/2026 on 18 June 2026, granting TACV a sovereign guarantee of USD 5,250,780 to cover one year of financial leasing obligations for a Boeing 737-8 from Boeing Capital Corporation. The 12-month aval, effective from 14 July 2026 to 13 July 2027, prevents default on lease payments tied to the aircraft’s 12-year contract term, reinforcing state backing amid mounting financial pressures. This intervention secures operational continuity for the national carrier while the government evaluates longer-term restructuring options, including potential privatization or merger, to address TACV’s chronic liquidity challenges and ensure inter-island and international connectivity remain intact.
