Angolan flag-carrier TAAG is to take delivery of Boeing 787s and Airbus A220s featuring a new colour scheme.
TAAG says the livery revision will highlight the national black antelope symbol while retaining patterns inspired by traditional ‘samakaka’ fabric.
The carrier says its initial A220-300, scheduled for delivery in the third quarter of this year, will be the first of its aircraft to carry the new identity.
TAAG states that the twinjet will be fitted with 12 business- and 125 economy-class seats.
Its livery change will be introduced as the airline prepares for a transfer of passenger flights to Luanda’s new Antonio Agostinho Neto international airport in the fourth quarter.
TAAG disclosed last year that it would modernise its fleet with four 787s and several leased A220s. All A220s have Pratt & Whitney PW1500G engines, while the carrier has seleced General Electric GEnx powerplants for its 787s.
