About Nelson Mandela International Airport

Nelson Mandela International Airport carries the IATA code RAI and the ICAO code GVNP. It sits at 14.9411, -23.4847 in Praia, Cape Verde, and is classified as a large airport with scheduled passenger service.

The codes are worth keeping straight, because they are not interchangeable. RAI is the three-letter IATA code — the one on your boarding pass and your baggage tag. GVNP is the four-character ICAO code air traffic control and flight planning systems use. This page tracks by position, so it shows every aircraft in the area regardless of which code its flight plan was filed under.

Positions come from volunteer ADS-B receivers and are provided for general interest. This is not a source of arrival or departure times — for those, check with the airline or the airport directly.
