TAAG, Angola Airlines, continues to strengthen its presence in the air cargo sector with the launch of a new freighter route to Nairobi, Kenya. The first flight took place on Wednesday, 30 April, marking a strategic step in the company’s expansion on the African continent.
The new LAD-NBO (Luanda-Nairobi) service will operate once a week on Wednesday and will prioritize the transport of flowers, taking advantage of Kenya’s potential as one of the world’s largest flower exporters, with an estimated cargo capacity of 18,000 kg per flight, which could reach between 1 and 2 million kg per year.
The new operation is part of TAAG’s expansion plan, consolidating the Nairobi hub in East Africa as a connector with the United Arab Emirates and India. In addition, the company aims to offer another logistical alternative for Kenyan flower exporters, facilitating access to the European market via TAAG’s hub in Luanda.

The expansion of TAAG’s cargo operation is in line with efforts to transform Luanda into a regional air transport hub, maximising the potential of the new airport infrastructure at Dr. António Agostinho Neto International Airport, currently with 120,000 tons of annual capacity. In addition, this initiative contributes directly to the objectives of the African Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA), promoting greater commercial integration between the countries of the continent.
