Amílcar Cabral International Airport (IATA: SID, OACI: GVAC), also known as Sal International Airport or Amílcar Cabral Airport, is the principal international airport of Cape Verde. The airport is named after the revolutionary leader Amílcar Cabral. Se encuentra 2 km (1.2 mi) west-southwest from Espargos on Sal Island. Until September 2005, it was the only airport in Cape Verde to serve international flights. (Cape Verde’s other international airports are near Praia on Santiago Island, on São Vicente near the capital of Mindelo and on Boavista.)
The airport’s main runway (01/19) is 3,272m (10,734 ft) and is the longest in Cape Verde. It is used for long-haul flights. It was also one of the designated emergency landing strips for the U.S. Space Shuttle. The second runway (07/25) is 1,500m (4,921 ft) and is used by small planes. Sal was the main hub for the national airline, TACV Cabo Verde Airlines, now Sal is the base of privates Cabo Verde Express, and Halcyonair.
En 2011, el aeropuerto sirve 576.323 pasajeros. Amílcar Cabral has one terminal. It is a two-story building containing check-in, waiting, and arrival areas, as well as shopping, banking, and passenger services. The second floor houses airport operations and airline offices. There are four gates, and buses (currently Cobus 3000s) are used to transport passengers to the aircraft stands.
The Amilcar Cabral Airport is located on the east side connecting with the road linking Espargos and Santa Maria, the island’s main tourist destination. There is presently no scheduled public transport, but taxis, shared cars known as “aluguer”, and rental cars are available. The head office of Halcyonair is located in the first floor of the Concourse Hall. In addition Cabo Verde Express has its head office in the Concourse Hall. Strangely, the Duty Free shop is located after Passport Control but before security scanning, which only takes place as you enter the boarding lounge, which is shared for all four departure gates.
