TAAG Angola Airlines sales policy changes

Overview

TAAG Angola Airlines announced that, effective September 15, 2026, ticket sales for the Luanda–Cabinda route will be managed exclusively through official airline channels. This measure aims to eliminate third-party agency sales to combat “commercial intermediation schemes” that have reportedly inflated prices and distorted official procedures.

The decision follows consultations with the Cabinda Provincial Government to restore service normality and transparency. The airline noted that informal traders had been purchasing tickets in advance to resell them at speculative prices on the state-subsidized route. While sales methods are changing, flight schedules, frequencies, and the subsidized economy class fare remain unchanged.
