Four Boeing 787s To Join TAAG Angola Airlines’ Fleet

American aircraft manufacturer Boeing has announced that it has bagged an order for four 787 Dreamliners from TAAG Angola Airlines. The carrier’s CEO says,

The 787 option suits our intent for modern, size-wise and efficient equipment, able to progressively replace our current widebody fleet, and provide our customers with an improved flight experience.

According to Boeing, Africa’s growing aviation industry will require 1,025 aircraft over the next 20 years. The manufacturer believes that African air traffic will grow at 7.4 per cent, outpacing the global average growth of 6.1 per cent.

TAAG Angola Airlines presently operates five 777-300ER jets, three 777-200ERs and seven 737-700s to twelve destinations across Africa, China, Europe and South America.
