TAAG ANGLA AIRLINES OPERATES FIRST COMMERCIAL
FLIGHT TO ABIDJAN AND STRENGTHENS REGIONAL
CONNECTIVITY
TAAG Angola Airlines has operated its first commercial passenger flight to Abidjan, in the Republic of Côte
d’Ivoire, reinforcing its commitment to expanding its destination
network and promoting regional connectivity.
The new route Luanda-Abidjan will feature a regular service with
three weekly frequencies on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Flights will be primarily operated with the Airbus A220-300, with a 137-
passenger total capacity, offering high standards of efficiency,
comfort, and performance, well-suited for regional operations in
Africa.
This new service is part of TAAG’s expansion strategy, focused on
strengthening its presence in key African markets and consolidating
Angola and particularly the new Dr. António Agostinho Neto
International Airport (NBJ) as a reference hub for regional
connections and for linking Africa to other continents.
The connection between Angola and Côte d’Ivoire has been structured
under a multipoint connectivity model, enabling TAAG to capture
passenger traffic in Abidjan while facilitating onward connections to
the airline’s network across Africa, South America, and Europe via
AIAAN.
In addition to passenger transport, the new route also plays a
significant role in the air cargo segment, contributing to the
development of trade flows between Angola and Côte d’Ivoire.
This operation therefore enhances the potential for economic synergies
between the two countries.
To celebrate this milestone, a symbolic ceremony was held at Félix
Houphouët-Boigny International Airport in Abidjan, bringing together
authorities from Angola and the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire, as well as
