Unlike the tourist-heavy islands of Sal and Boa Vista, mountainous São Nicolau sees little air traffic, and Preguiça Airport (SNE) reflects that calm. It is served by inter-island flights, chiefly to São Vicente, with no international scheduled service. Cargo moves only as belly load, and the airport has no dedicated freight terminal. Airfreight to or from São Nicolau is routed via Sal (SID) and Lisbon (LIS), while bulk supply arrives by sea.
