The Ministry of Transport indicated that the airlines operating in the country must carry out this transition gradually, with the complete migration of operations within the indicated deadline.

The portfolio remarked that companies must ensure that their operations comply with all civil aviation regulations, both national and international.

Aiaan began operating international flights on February 1, when it welcomed the services of Angola’s flag carrier, TAAG, to Congo and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

With the beginning of the second month of the year, the transfer of all the company’s domestic flights was also completed, when the domestic connections from Lubango, Catumbela, Huambo, Cuito (Bie), Menongue (Cubango), Namibe and Ondjiva (Cunene) were moved to the new facilities.

The new Luanda airport was inaugurated on November 10, 2023 and has the capacity to handle 15 million passengers and a cargo volume of 130 000 tons per year.
