The airline was founded in 2015 under the name Binter Cabo Verde, a subsidiary of Spanish airline Binter Canarias. In August 2019, the airline changed its name from Binter Cabo Verde (Binter CV) to Transportes Interilhas de Cabo Verde, shortened to TICV.[2] Binter Canarias divested in the airline in June 2021, selling its majority 70% stake to Angolan airline BestFly Worldwide with the remaining 30% owned by the Government of Cape Verde.[3]

Destinations[]

TICV has taken over inter-island flights after its discontinuation of theirs by TACV on August 1, 2017 as TACV was restructuring and privatisation.[4] TICV established a partnership covering TACV's international services, allowing TACV to offer connections to domestic destinations and will seek to strengthen inter-island connections. Before, the company's national flights served in and with the Canary Islands.[5]
