Cabo Verde Debuts Boeing 737s Abroad

Archipelago to See First Operator of Late-Model Boeing MAX

Cabo Verde showed off its newest aircraft with a shiny new livery, a 737-8 clad in the Cape Verdean carrier's colors. While the overall coloration isn't quite as sumptuous as the full-body colorations seen on a number of other operators, the teal, purple, and gold coloration is something new for a change. The aircraft was unveiled as part of the carrier's new "take-off" rebranding, intending to raise awareness of the line's aim to "reconnect the Cape Verdean diaspora and boost tourism for the island nation from Africa, Europe, North America and South America."

Airbus Finally Sees Certification for H175 in China

A popular Airbus helo will finally fly in one of the biggest markets in the world after seeing certification from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC). First deliveries are expected this year. The deal unlocks one of the "most demanding markets worldwide for civil helicopters with a growing need for the super-medium segment", with at least 4 aircraft on track to be tendered to Chinese customers by the end of 2023. The certification comes after 8 years on the market for one of Airbus' better sellers, with the H175 building up a steady market in the public service sector.
