The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has authorized TAAG to operate the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner on flights to Europe. The aircraft will initially be introduced on the Luanda–Lisbon–Luanda route, the Angolan airline announced.
The authorization was granted as part of the regular certification and technical oversight process applicable to operators flying to destinations within the European Union. It allows the integration of the new aircraft into TAAG’s fleet modernization program.
The Luanda–Lisbon–Luanda route is TAAG’s main connection to the European market, and the introduction of the Boeing 787-9 is intended to “enhance the passenger travel experience” and strengthen the airline’s competitiveness on this strategic route.
According to the company’s Chairman of the Board, Clóvis Rosa, quoted in the statement, the approval reflects “recognition of the technical, operational, and regulatory compliance work that TAAG has been carrying out” and further reinforces the airline’s credibility with international authorities, partners, and customers.
TAAG will continue its ongoing technical and regulatory efforts to progressively integrate the Boeing 787 fleet into its international operations, the statement added.
The Angolan carrier currently serves 13 domestic destinations and 12 international destinations, while also operating in the air cargo segment.
