TACV Coming to PVD

TACV – Cabo Verde Airlines (Transportes Aereos de Cabo Verde) (Praia, Cape Verde Islands) is coming to T. F. Green Airport in Providence, Rhode Island starting on June 2. The airline will operate two flights a week with Boeing 757-200 aircraft. The airport issued this statement:
Transportes Aereos de Cabo Verde (TACV), will add service from PVD to the Cabo Verde Islands 6/2/15. The airline will offer 2 x weekly flights utilizing a Boeing 757-200 aircraft to the city of Praia on the island of Santiago on Tuesdays and Fridays through 6/30/15 and will add a third weekly flight on Wednesdays during the peak travel season of July through early September.

Located about 300 miles off the coast of Senegal, Cabo Verde is renowned for its natural beauty, picturesque beaches, and “morabeza” (Creole for hospitality) of its people. The islands that make up the arrow-shaped archipelago today were discovered and colonized by the Portuguese in the 15th century. Cabo Verde gained independence in 1975 and remains one of Africa’s most stable democratic governments. Both Portuguese and Creole are spoken by many of the 450,000 Cabo Verdeans who call the island nation home.

Whoa, I don't know what's craziest: that a 757 has that kind of range, that they chose Providence of all places, or that they're basically pulling out of Boston to do so (RAI-BOS ends a couple days before this flight begins)
