TAAG Angola Airlines has reached another significant milestone in strengthening its presence and influence within the African aviation sector. During the 56th Annual General Assembly of the Airlines Association of Southern Africa (AASA), held on 10 October 2026 in Mauritius, the airline’s CEO, Miguel Carneiro, was elected Chairperson of AASA for the 2026/2027 term.
AASA is the leading airline association in Southern Africa, bringing together airlines, airports, regulators, and key industry stakeholders to promote regional cooperation, air connectivity, operational safety, and the sustainable development of air transport.
During the same forum, it was also announced that Angola will host the 57th AASA Annual General Assembly in October 2027.
This double achievement represents important recognition of TAAG’s growing role in African aviation while further enhancing Angola’s visibility among the industry’s leading decision-makers.
Holding the Association’s chairmanship will enable TAAG to play a more active role in the discussions and initiatives shaping the future of regional aviation, further strengthening its position among airlines, regulators, and international partners.
Likewise, hosting the next Annual General Assembly in Angola will provide an excellent opportunity to showcase the country, highlight the progress of its aviation sector, and reinforce TAAG’s standing as one of the region’s leading carriers.
This election, together with the selection of Angola as the host country for the next AASA Annual General Assembly, reflects the industry’s confidence in TAAG’s transformation journey and in the contribution the airline can make to the continued development of aviation across Africa.
