TAAG Angola Airlines has expanded its Brazil network through a codeshare agreement with LATAM Brasil, giving passengers access to 57 destinations via São Paulo and strengthening air links between Africa and South America.

 

TAAG Angola Airlines is expanding its reach into Brazil through a new codeshare agreement with LATAM Brasil that will give its passengers access to 57 destinations across Brazil beyond the Angolan carrier’s own network.

The agreement integrates the destination networks of the two airlines, allowing TAAG passengers travelling through São Paulo’s Guarulhos International Airport (GRU) to connect onto LATAM Brasil’s extensive domestic network under a combined itinerary.

The partnership strengthens air connectivity between Africa and South America, while opening new travel opportunities for business and leisure passengers moving between Angola and Brazil.

For TAAG, the agreement is also part of a broader strategy to use partnerships to expand its international network without having to operate every destination itself.

Passengers will be able to purchase connecting journeys through TAAG, with the codeshare arrangement providing greater flexibility in travel planning and a more seamless transfer experience between the two airlines.

TAAG says the arrangement also offers practical benefits associated with connecting travel, including streamlined check-in and baggage handling, as well as passenger assistance during transit.

The partnership gives TAAG customers access to destinations ranging from major Brazilian commercial centres such as Brasília, Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte, Recife and Salvador to tourism and regional markets including Fernando de Noronha, Foz do Iguaçu, Porto Seguro and Florianópolis.

The expanded network also reaches cities across Brazil’s northern, northeastern, central and southern regions, significantly widening the geographic footprint available to passengers originating from Angola.

The agreement comes as TAAG seeks to strengthen the role of Dr António Agostinho Neto International Airport (NBJ) in Luanda as a connecting hub between Africa and South America.

The Angolan carrier sees the airport as a platform through which its network can facilitate not only passenger mobility but also wider economic and tourism links between the two regions.

LATAM Brasil is part of the LATAM Airlines Group, described by TAAG as the largest airline group in South America, with operations spanning Latin America and connections to North America, Europe, Oceania and Africa.

The group operates a fleet of more than 350 aircraft, comprising Airbus aircraft for domestic and regional services and Boeing aircraft for long-haul operations.

The codeshare therefore gives TAAG access to the distribution and connectivity capabilities of one of South America’s largest airline groups, while giving LATAM an additional channel into the African market through TAAG’s network.

The partnership could also extend beyond Brazil. TAAG said the two airlines may in future expand the agreement to cover LATAM’s international services across South America and North America, potentially giving TAAG passengers access to a substantially wider network.

For TAAG, the immediate prize is Brazil, where the new agreement transforms São Paulo into a gateway to dozens of destinations beyond the airline’s own operations and strengthens Luanda’s potential as a bridge between the African and South American markets.
