TAAG Angola Airlines has taken delivery of its third Airbus A220-300 aircraft, further advancing its fleet modernisation and regional expansion plans. The new aircraft, named D2-TAI, arrived in Luanda from Montreal with a technical stop in Faro, and forms a central part of TAAG’s 2024–2029 Strategic Plan aimed at enhancing connectivity across Africa and boosting operational efficiency.
