São Filipe Airport guide

São Filipe Airport (IATA: SFL, ICAO: GVSF) is the only airport on Fogo, the volcanic island in the southern Sotavento group of Cape Verde. It sits on the Atlantic coast about 2 km southeast of São Filipe, the island's main town. The current airfield was completed in 1997 on the site of an earlier, smaller strip.

The airport handles domestic flights only. Its single asphalt runway, 14/32, is 30 m wide and listed at about 1,350 m by Wikipedia and 1,500 m by the operator. That is enough for turboprops flying the short inter-island hop to Praia on Santiago. Wikipedia records 72,949 passengers in 2017, and the operator reports 66,818 in 2018.

Cabo Verde Airports, a company in which VINCI Airports holds the majority, has run the airport under a 40-year concession since 2023. The airport has a single terminal, used by CVsky for its inter-island services, with shops, restaurants and public transport connections to the town.
