Next step (which should have happened decades ago) a new management and surely a new Crew.
Boy oh boy oh boy!!! This is so exotic and cool! The titles especially. What Air Tanzania did with blue and green, TAAG has done with orange and red… that too on the same aircraft, the A220 and 787! Granted, TAAG doesn’t have the 787 yet, but still. If only the airline weren’t so much of a basket case otherwise, there would be some merit to flying all the way to Luanda to fly this plane!
The 737 has an advantage using remote airports in that its very low to the ground, so it needs only the most basic equipment to load and unload. Of course that was a disadvantage for 737-Max because the engine didn't fit underneath the wing and had to be put in front of the wing.
Does the A220 have this same advantage of being low to the ground? Also I'm sure spare parts for the A220 will be difficult to find in Africa considering its supply chain is heavily North American.
Re the livery, I don't like how Angola is spelled across the windows.
@Nelson - TAAG changes management more often than some people change their clothes. I don't think any TAAG management team that placed an aircraft order was ever still around to take delivery. This order was Eduardo's brainchild and he's long exited the organisation.
I remember the "worst first class flight ever" piece -- as much as this looks stunning, hopefully they do the work they need to on the inside
