TAAG Angola to increase frequencies to Kinshasa

August 2, 2023

In order to promote trade, business development and mobility between Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), thus, following market demand, TAAG Angola Airlines will provide an additional frequency on the Luanda – Kinshasa connection, from 14 August. The Kinshasa route will have four weekly frequencies, departing from Luanda on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, operated by a DASH-8 aircraft.

Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo shared multiple synergies, and
coincidently, today is taking place the first Economic Forum Angola – DRC in Kinshasa,
with the main topic “Economic Partnerships towards mutual growth”. This event brings
together Government representatives from both countries, corporate segment,
chamber of commerce and similar, among other participants.

Angola shares an extensive border with the DRC and a significant flow of bilateral
trade. Both countries develop strong co-operation and are integrated into regional
organisations, namely: Southern African Development Community (SADC), Economic
Community of Central African States (ECCAS), Gulf of Guinea Commission (CGG) and
International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR)
