TAAG Angola Takes Delivery of Africa’s First Boeing 787-10

TAAG Angola Airlines has received its third Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The new Boeing 787-10, registered as D2-TES, landed at Dr. António Agostinho Neto International Airport (NBJ) today. The aircraft is the first 787-10 model to join the airline’s fleet.

The aircraft, incorporated under a leasing arrangement, reflects TAAG Angola Airlines' ambitious modernization process, a critical success factor on the ongoing transformation journey.

The aircraft is configured to carry 367 passengers (24 in business class and 343 in economy class). It joins the two Boeing 787-9 models incorporated by TAAG Angola Airlines earlier this year.

With this delivery, TAAG Angola has also become the first airline in Africa to operate the Boeing 787-10 - the largest member of the popular Boeing 787 Dreamliner family.

The Boeing 787-10 represents the utmost version of the Dreamliner family. In addition to greater passenger and cargo capacity, it also ensures optimized levels of fuel efficiency, highlighting TAAG Angola Airlines' commitment to environmental sustainability through a significant reduction of CO₂ emissions.

The state-of-the-art aircraft will empower connectivity for existing long-haul destinations but will also support the prospecting of new routes, as outlined in TAAG Angola Airlines Strategic Plan 2024-2029.

Symbolically, the aircraft which carries a commemorative stamp on its fuselage regarding the 50th Anniversary of Angola's Independence, touched Angolan soil for the first time precisely today, on the National Celebration Day.

TAAG Angola Airlines reaffirms its commitment to operational excellence, improved passenger experience, and providing connectivity on a global scale.
