TAAG Angola Airlines plans European routes after EASA approval
TAAG Angola Airlines is evaluating new routes to Europe after receiving authorisation to fly to all EU countries. TAAG announced June 8 EASA had granted the carrier third country operator status. TAAG was put on the EU blacklist in July 2007 and, despite successive community audits in 2009, obtained authorisation to start flights from Luanda to Lisbon and later to Porto (Portugal), after signed agreements between the two countries’ civil aviation authorities. “We would like to go to Paris, Frankfurt or London, but the timing is probably not there yet. In terms of expanding our network, we are couple of years away. We had to push it back [new long-haul routes]. For now, we are focusing on routes to Portugal, domestic, and our hub activity in Luanda,” TAAG CE Peter Hill explained. <br/>
