SAA and TAAG sign codeshare

SAA and TAAG Angola Airlines have signed a strategic codeshare agreement to enhance regional and intercontinental connectivity.

The codeshare enables the airlines to expand their networks by sharing routes and offering passengers seamless connections, using Luanda, Johannesburg and Cape Town as key hubs.

SAA will add its flight code to TAAG-operated flights from Johannesburg and Cape Town to Luanda, as well as onward connections from Luanda to Lisbon and São Paulo.

In return, TAAG will gain access to key destinations in SAA’s network, including Durban, Gqeberha, Cape Town, Harare and Lusaka.

Travellers can book flights from this wider selection of destinations, with the convenience of purchasing a single ticket in their local currency and integrated check-in and baggage processes.

"This partnership marks a significant milestone in African aviation, strengthening connectivity across the continent and creating new opportunities for leisure and business travellers,” said SAA Group CEO, John Lamola.
