TAAG Angola Airlines is pursuing a strategy of network expansion and fleet adjustment. The carrier announced plans to establish Luanda as a major African aviation hub, including a new route connecting Luanda, Dakar, and Praia scheduled for launch on October 31. The airline is also targeting long-haul growth into Asia, specifically identifying China and India as potential destinations.

In conjunction with its network growth, TAAG has reached an agreement with TACV Cabo Verde Airlines to sell a Boeing 737-700. This sale follows a four-year leasing arrangement and is intended to help TAAG adjust its fleet composition in preparation for new equipment.
