Airport in Praia, Cape Verde
Francisco Mendes International Airport was an airport located on Santiago Island in Cape Verde . It was opened in 1961. It was located about 2 km east of central Praia in the southeastern part of the island of Santiago. After Cape Verdean independence, the airport was named after Francisco Mendes , a Guinea-Bissau independence activist and that country's first Prime Minister.
History [ edit ]
On 28 September 1998, a TACV de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter (registered D4-CAX) carrying Carlos Veiga , then Prime Minister of Cape Verde , 18 other passengers and three crew members crash-landed at the airport. There was one fatality (a bodyguard of the prime minister) and four people were injured.[1]
In late 2005, the airport was deactivated, and replaced by the new Praia International Airport (since 2012 Nelson Mandela International Airport ).
