Subsidiaries

Hello everyone,

A few weeks ago i try to open a subsidiary of my main company Semba, based in Cape Verde, in Croydon World. My subsidiary i called Semba Portugal, based in Oporto and flying to european cities.

The problem is that flights was ok but didn t appeared on scheduled board and dont have passengers.

Probably i made a mystake but i dont know what. Can you help me?

Thank you

You don't have traffic rights for flights to/from Portugal unless they start in Cape Verde.

You don't have traffic rights, have a read of this...

So if i want to fly european destinations i have to fly Sal—Porto—Nantes? With this way i can sell tickets in this two legs?

Your main holding is based in Cape Verde, and ultimately the rights trace back to that no matter where you choose to headquarter any subsidiaries; that means that you can sell tickets from Cape Verde to anywhere, or anywhere to anywhere else via Cape Verde, but not between other countries without CV being involved at some point. So - in your above example, you could sell tickets from Sal to Porto, Sal to Nantes, Nantes to Sal, Porto to Sal, but not between Porto to Nantes or Nantes to Porto.

Thanks for your responses. Another situation, if i want to make domestic flights in Mozambique i need an subsidiary or can i just put one airplane with Cape verde registration in Mozambique? Thank you

You dont have the traffic rights to do that but as a Cape Verde carrier you have 5th and 8th freedom in Mozambique but not 6th or 9th Freedom. You need to found a new holding in Mozambique if you want unrestricted traffic rights.

To expand on CBE's post, Mozambique is one of the countries with unrestricted market access. This is the one exception to the rule that subsidiaries inherit traffic rights from their parent company: if you found a subsidiary in a country with unrestricted market access, say Mozambique (see the first link that CBE posted for a list), then that subsidiary can sell tickets to, from, and via Mozambique, and not Cape Verde.
