Opening of new Luanda airport delayed

Luanda's new international airport, António Agostinho Neto International Airport, is due to begin passenger services later this year.

TAAG Angola Airlines was originally expected to begin domestic passenger services at the airport in March (and international passenger services were due to begin in mid-July), but all passenger services have been postponed until the last quarter of this year, reports the Angolan website angop.ao.

The new airport has two double runways and can accommodate 15 million passengers per year.
