avia.wikisort.org - AerodromeThe Agostinho Neto Airport (Portuguese Aeroporto Agostinho Neto) (IATA: NTO, ICAO: GVAN) was an airport located near the town of Ponta do Sol on the northern tip of the island of Santo Antão, Cape Verde. The airport was named after Agostinho Neto, an Angolan politician who lived on the island during his exile.[1] On 7 August 1999 TACV Flight 5002 from São Pedro Airport (São Vicente) to
Agostinho Neto Airport crashed, killing all 18 occupants. For safety reasons, the airport was closed in the 1990s.[2] Since then, Santo Antão does not have an airport. There are plans to build a new airport near Ponte Sul, west of Porto Novo. Construction may start in the 2020s.[3]

[fr] Aérodrome Agostinho-Neto
L'aérodrome Agostinho-Neto (code IATA : NTO • code OACI : GVAN) est un petit aérodrome désaffecté du Cap-Vert qui desservait la ville de Ponta do Sol au nord de l'île de Santo Antão, elle-même située dans le groupe des îles de Barlavento, au nord de l'archipel. Il porte le nom du premier président de la République populaire d'Angola, Agostinho Neto qui, quand il devait encore lutter pour l’indépendance de sa nation, fut déporté par les autorités portugaises et vécu pendant un certain temps, dans les années 1960, à Ponta do Sol.
