Angolan flag-carrier TAAG has commenced operations from the capital Luanda’s new Agostinho Neto international airport.

The airline transferred its domestic Luanda-Cabinda flight to the new hub on 10 November, operating the initial service with a Boeing 737-700 before switching to a De Havilland Dash 8-400.

TAAG commenced its initial flights at Neto airport on 10 November

TAAG says the route to Cabinda, which lies in an exclave of Angola, was selected because it is the domestic destination with the highest passenger and cargo traffic.

This enables a “solid and safe start” to the new airport’s operations and the optimisation of processes, it states.

TAAG aims to transfer other services – to Dundo, Saurimo, Luena and Soyo – towards the end of this year, while its remaining domestic and international flights will be moved in the first quarter of 2025.
