Amílcar Cabral International Airport is a commercial-airline hub that also handles a steady stream of private and corporate traffic. Mixed commercial and private operations mean planners should expect slot coordination, handling agent involvement, and the usual international hub procedures.
Amílcar Cabral International Airport sits near sea level at 177 ft.
Local operations run on Atlantic/Cape_Verde.

Booking FBO ramp space in advance is normal practice.
