Luanda – Angolan Airlines “TAAG” presented Tuesday at Luanda’s 4 de Fevereiro International Airport the first of six aircraft of the A220-300 model, from Airbus, acquired through a commercial contract with ALC (Air Lease Corporation).
The Airbus A220 has capacity for 148 passengers, of whom 130 in economy class and 18 in business class. This aircraft is a modern and extremely efficient aircraft with a reduction in fuel consumption of around 25 percent.
The Airbus A220 is an “environmentally friendly” vehicle with reduced CO2 emissions and noise pollution by around 50 percent.
This is a flexible aircraft, with an autonomy of 7h30 minutes, at an altitude of over 13,000 feet, reaching a speed of 850 km/hour.
The company plans to incorporate the A220 aircraft into its fleet from August 2023 on a dry lease basis, allowing personnel, after training, to operate and maintain these aircraft.
The next arrives in August next year and the remaining two in 2024, under a contract signed in June this year between the parties.
