TAAG Angola Airlines will operate daily flights to and from Luanda and Cape Town from October 30.
The airline currently operates three flights a week on the route.
“This will match our daily service to Johannesburg and it is making use of the enhanced bilateral agreement between South Africa and Angola,” says TAAG Angola Airlines’ chief commercial officer, William Boulter.
“We cannot confirm the flight schedule at this stage as it is subject to change because we are still six months away.” It will be at roughly the same times as the flights that are currently operating from Cape Town, says William.
The flights will also provide connections for travellers from South Africa flying via Luanda to Portugal, Brazil, Cuba and to other points in Africa, he says. “Recently, we have started to connect these flights to the rest of our network and it has had a positive response from the market.
“Ultimately, we decided to increase flights on this route because traffic between Angola and Cape Town has been on a positive track for the last five years.”
