Iberia to Open Angola Flights

Spanish carrier Iberia is to launch a twice weekly service to the Angolan capital Luanda later this year. The link will begin on September 30 and will be operated by an Airbus A340-300. There are currently no direct links between Spain and Angola, although an estimated 4,000 O&D passengers travelled between the two countries in the past year.

There are already more than 20 flights a week to Luanda from other major European hubs including Air France to Paris CDG, British Airways to London Heathrow, Lufthansa to Frankfurt and TAP Portugal and TAAG Angola to Lisbon.

Iberia anticipates that it will captured the majority of the market that currently flies via other countries as well as capturing additional connecting traffic from around its European, North American and South American networks and the flights of its sister carrier British Airways.
