TAAG ANGOLA AIRLINES JOIN WTM AFRICA 2023 ADDRESSING INTRA-REGIONAL COOPERATION AS MAJOR TOPIC FOR THE AVIATION ECOSSYSTEM AHEAD

SOUTH AFRICA, March 27, 2023:

TAAG ANGOLA AIRLINES is invited to discuss critical issues affecting the aviation and tourism industries in Africa during two not-to-be-missed content sessions at WTM Africa, which is taking place at the CTICC in Cape Town from 02 to 05 April.

In conversation with Aaron Munetsi, CEO Airlines Association of Southern Africa, Abdérahmane Berthé, Secretary-General African Airlines Association and Olivier Ponti, Vice President ForwardKeys, the discuss will focus on critical initiatives to liberalise civil aviation and boost intra-regional travel. This content session, which aims to highlight the importance of regional cooperation in tourism across Africa, will take place on Monday, April 3 from 16h00 – 16h45 on the Global Stage at the CTICC.

On Tuesday, April 4, from13h30 to 14h15, TAAG ANGOLA AIRLINES will also have a seat and participate in a panel on WTM Africa’s Global Stage to debate the opportunities for aviation into Africa and what to expect in the future. Joining the panel will be David King, Project Manager at WESGRO: Cape Town Air Access and Rodger Foster, CEO & Managing Director, SA Airlink.

“The importance of boosting intra-regional cooperation in Africa and improving intra-African connectivity cannot be overemphasised. As such, TAAG is committed to playing a significant role in achieving these objectives. With direct connections to nine cities in Africa, two in the Americas, and two in Europe, TAAG is the interlink enabler for North-South and South-South connectivity. We strongly believe that Luanda can be a central hub in Austral/Africa, offering strong opportunities for East-West (e.g., Asia-Africa-Americas) and North-South (Europe-Africa) connectivity,” says Eduardo Fairen, CEO TAAG.

Angola’s long transatlantic coastline and TAAG´s relevant connections highlight the country´s hyper-competitive geographic advantage. With the continent’s attractive potential for business development, TAAG is well-positioned to be the airline of choice for bridging connections to and from Africa.

WTM Africa is expected to be a crucial platform for leaders in the travel and tourism industry to share insights, best practices, and form partnerships to boost Africa’s tourism sector. TAAG representative at the event will be Rui Carreira, as a Board Member while this a significant opportunity for attendees to hear from a leading aviation expert on the importance of intra-regional cooperation in Africa.
