In a press release, the Angolan airline announced that Luanda (Angola), Johannesburg, and Cape Town (South Africa) will become hubs for connecting flights on a regional and intercontinental level.
“Through this codeshare agreement, TAAG strengthens its connectivity within the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region, resuming connections to Harare, Zimbabwe’s capital, and Lusaka in Zambia via stopover flights in Johannesburg or Cape Town, with the final leg of the journey operated by partner South African Airways,” the statement read.
This commercial cooperation agreement also enables the expansion of TAAG and the mobility of its passengers to destinations within the South African Airways (SAA) network, specifically high-demand and attractive routes such as Durban and Port Elizabeth in South Africa, Mauritius, Victoria Falls, or Dar es Salaam on the African continent.
The new program will also facilitate reaching intercontinental destinations, such as Perth in Australia, among other possibilities within the SAA network.
“The codeshare agreement allows TAAG and SAA to sell flight tickets, including partner destinations, expand network coverage, and collaborate on sales efforts,” emphasized the document.
TAAG further emphasizes that the codeshare scheme “offers a range of benefits to passengers, such as more fare options to choose from, the ability to purchase a single ticket in local currency (for travel itineraries on both airlines), guaranteed connection flight protection, ease of booking, check-in and baggage check (in transit), as well as access to more destinations through the combined TAAG and SAA networks.
