TAAG Angola postpones the start date for Accra

TAAG Angola's scheduled re-start of operations in Accra, Ghana this summer has been postponed to later this year.

TAAG began flights to Accra from its base in Luanda, Angola, in November 2022. However, in March 2023, TAAG announced that it would be ceasing operations in the summer of 2023.

In an email response to AviationGhana, Diane Chung, TAAG's Regional Manager, confirmed the postponement.

Unfortunately, the relaunch has been postponed to later this year. We’re awaiting the arrival of the new aircraft and once they arrive, we’ll evaluate where to deploy them to best serve the company’s needs, Diane Chung wrote.
