About 7B
Fly 7B and you're essentially flying the Cape Verde islands themselves — this is a regional carrier built not for transatlantic ambitions but for the quiet, key work of stitching an archipelago together. With 20 non-stop routes spread across 7 airports, all of them within Cape Verde, 7B operates what's best described as an inter-island lifeline. The network spans just over 3,000 kilometres in total, which tells you everything about the scale: this is intimate, purposeful flying. Praia's RAI serves as the main hub, feeding six routes outward to the other islands.
Why fly 7B?
If you're island-hopping through Cape Verde — and honestly, why wouldn't you be — 7B is likely your only realistic option for getting between islands quickly without relying on ferries and their unpredictable schedules. That's not a criticism; it's a genuine argument for booking. The network covers the islands most travelers actually want to reach, including Sao Vicente (VXE) and Sal (SID), and with 20 routes across such a compact geography, connections tend to be logical rather than convoluted. For travelers who've done the slow boat between islands and arrived sun-baked and slightly behind schedule, a short regional hop on 7B starts to look rather appealing. The longest route, RAI to VXE, clocks in at just 269 kilometres — shorter than some people's daily commutes.

Tips for booking 7B
Book early if you're travelling during peak tourist season, particularly around Sal (SID), which draws a steady crowd of European sun-seekers. Because 7B operates entirely within Cape Verde, there are no international connections or alliance partners to use for upgrades or miles — what you see is what you get. Keep your expectations calibrated to regional flying: this isn't a full-service carrier with lounges and multi-course meals, and treating it like one will only frustrate you. Praia's RAI hub is your most reliable connection point with six routes fanning out from there, so if your itinerary goes sideways, it's the airport worth knowing well.
