The state-owned Angolan airline TAAG has announced that tickets for flights between Luanda and Cabinda are nearly sold out until December. According to the company, the strong demand for this route has led to a significant reduction in available seats. Since taking over the exclusive sale of tickets for this route, TAAG has seen a considerable improvement in the availability of seats for sale.
TAAG's commercialization of tickets for the Luanda-Cabinda route has led to a notable decrease in situations where seats remained blocked. The airline reported that for October, the economy class is fully booked, while November and December have occupancy rates of 96.8% and 93.5%, respectively. This development indicates a high demand for flights between the two cities.
In September, TAAG introduced a new ticketing system, which allowed for better management of seat availability. The airline reported an improvement in seat availability for sale on the route following the implementation of this system. With the new system, TAAG has been able to optimize seat allocation and respond to growing demand.
According to TAAG, a total of 9,800 seats were made available for sale until December 31, 2026. The airline stated that it is committed to maintaining connectivity with the province of Cabinda and will continue to monitor demand and service levels. This will enable TAAG to optimize available capacity and enhance the travel experience for passengers.
The airline's efforts to improve ticket availability and sales come after reports emerged that tickets were sold out until December. In response, TAAG injected an additional 9,800 seats into the market, which have now been almost fully booked. The airline's move aims to address the high demand for flights between Luanda and Cabinda.
Fernando Calueto reported on October 7, 2026, that TAAG's efforts to manage ticket sales have led to a significant increase in seat availability. The airline's strategy has ensured that passengers can now plan their trips with greater ease. TAAG's commitment to improving its services is reflected in its ongoing efforts to optimize capacity and enhance the passenger experience.
TAAG's near-exhaustion of tickets until December highlights the importance of the Luanda-Cabinda route for both citizens and businesses. The airline's ability to manage demand and optimize capacity will be crucial in ensuring continued connectivity between the two cities. As the airline continues to monitor demand, it is likely to make further adjustments to its services.
