The airline informs that it has a new passenger service system, named HITIT, a modern platform with integrated sales, operations and accounting solution, a new technology that will increase the efficiency and reliability of customer service.
Cabo Verde Airlines has halted operations since March 2020, but took advantage of this forced stop of the pandemic to reorganise itself, train its teams and implement a new sales system that allows it to automatically notify passengers of all flights in progress, a huge investment in customer experience that is expected to be fruitful to make the company more agile and reliable.
