TAAG Angola Airlines is expanding its access to Brazil’s fast-growing domestic travel market, giving passengers from Angola connections to 57 additional Brazilian destinations through a new codeshare agreement with LATAM Brasil.

The deal allows TAAG to sell journeys beyond São Paulo without launching new routes or adding aircraft to its fleet. Instead, passengers flying from Luanda can connect through São Paulo-Guarulhos International Airport to LATAM’s domestic network across Brazil.

The agreement, announced by Angolan media on Sept. 1, builds on TAAG’s existing Luanda-São Paulo service and gives the Angolan carrier a broader reach in one of its most important international markets.

Passengers will be able to buy combined tickets, check baggage through to their final destinations and receive assistance during connections. TAAG currently operates four weekly flights between Luanda and São Paulo using Boeing 787-10 wide-body aircraft.

TAAG strengthens Luanda hub strategy

The partnership also supports TAAG’s plan to develop Dr. António Agostinho Neto International Airport into a major intercontinental hub linking Africa with other global markets.

By connecting its Luanda-São Paulo flights with LATAM’s domestic network, TAAG can offer passengers access to more Brazilian cities while leaving the domestic flying to its partner.

The airline already has codeshare agreements with Brussels Airlines, Cabo Verde Airlines, Lufthansa and South African Airways. The LATAM partnership extends that strategy into Brazil, allowing TAAG to widen its international network without operating every connecting route itself.

Trade supports growing Angola-Brazil travel

The expansion comes as trade and people-to-people links between Angola and Brazil remain significant.

Brazil exported about $549 million in goods to Angola in 2024, while Angolan exports to Brazil exceeded $1 billion, according to the Observatory of Economic Complexity.

More than 25,000 Brazilian nationals lived in Angola at the beginning of 2026, according to Brazil’s Consulate General in Luanda.

The consulate also handled about 2,000 visa applications each month, although the applications were not exclusively for tourism.

For TAAG, the LATAM agreement gives its existing Luanda-São Paulo route access to a much larger Brazilian market while strengthening Angola’s position as a connection point between Africa and South America.
