Presentation

The national airport management and air traffic control entity in Cabo Verde is a company named Aeroportos e Segurança Aérea (Portuguese for "Airports and Air Safety" - ASA, a backronym for "asa", "wing"); it was created in 1984 as a state company, privatized in 2001. It manages the country’s four international airports (SID, RAI, BVC, and VXE) and three domestic ones (SFL, SNE, and MMO); these operations were taken over in 2023 by international private airport operator Vinci Airports, which apparently kept doing business locally under the ASA brand. ASA also manages air traffic in the FIR Sal Oceanic (GVSC).

Description

From my observations, this flag is just the logo on a white sheet (source).

The current logo is available in SVG format in the official website. Comparing snapshots of the official website, it was adopted between 2016 and 2017. The new design integrates the previous as part of the initial "A", in a (mostly) blue and orange wordmark.

The previous logo was used centered on a ~2:3 plain white flag, see these examples of its use (photos: [1], [2], [3]).

It is a circular logo, seal-like, light blue with grey rim and overall a salmon/peach/gold color device with two sharp triangle points extending onto the rim, suggesting perhaps a set of wings or a two-needle dial. The sector of the logo between these tips has 12 radial lines and reads at the top "asa" and "aeroportos segurança aérea", in smaller type, at the bottom, all in bold serifless lower case letters.

When standalone, the areas of the logo shown grey on the flag are white (sources: official logo as of 2014 and 2006 photo).
