São Nicolau's gateway to the Cape Verde archipelago.

Location
Preguiça, Cape Verde
Preguiça Airport (IATA: SNE, ICAO: GVSN) serves the island of São Nicolau in the Republic of Cape Verde, located in the North Atlantic Ocean off the coast of West Africa. The airport is named after the nearby town of Preguiça and acts as the primary air access point for this relatively remote island. The airport handles domestic inter-island flights within Cape Verde, connecting São Nicolau to other islands such as Santiago and São Vicente. Due to the island's modest population and tourism levels, traffic is limited compared to larger Cape Verdean airports such as those on Santiago or Sal.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building suited to low-volume domestic inter-island traffic.
Getting to & from
Ground transport to Preguiça and the wider island is primarily via taxis and informal shared transport, as no formal bus service connects the airport.
Airlines here
Bestfly and TACV (Cabo Verde Airlines) have operated domestic services at this airport.
