TAAG Angolan Airlines: The Domestic Network, 2011


TAAG Angolan Airlines serves ten cities across the Republic's mainland territory from its hub at Luanda's Quatro de Fevereiro Airport, as well the northern, oil-rich exclave of Cabinda.

See the two previous posts for TAAG's Global and African networks.

TAAG Angolan Airlines: The African Routes, 2011

While TAAG serves several underserved African cities, particularly Bangui and Sao Tome, there are a number of gaps in its African network to be filled in, including several of the continent's most important air hubs, namely Nairobi, Lagos, Addis Ababa, Accra, Entebbe, Cairo and Dakar. Tiny Lusophone Bissau would also be a possible addition.

Luanda has the potential to be a conduit for traffic between Western and Southern Africa, funneling West Africans into the continent's southern cone. But this has yet to materialize. Presumably, TAAG functions on premium origin and destination traffic to fuel its booming economy.
