Why should this airport be added to World of Airports?
While brand new, it is a very well positioned airport for routes to Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Being new also means that there is a lot of opportunity for the player to shape the airport as they see fit. It is also expected to supplant/replace the preexisting Luanda 4th of February airport over the coming years, and TAAG has already begun moving their hub operations from that airport to the new one.
Major Airlines & Routes
Currently, the only airlines with regular service to the airport are TAAG and Airlink. As it is supposed to take the place of the preexisting airport, airlines with service to that airport will be included too.
Regular service to Luanda (Old Airport): Air France, ASKY, Emirates, Ethiopian Airlines, Fly Angola, Kenya Airways, Lufthansa, Qatar Airways, Royal Air Maroc, TAP Air Portugal, and Turkish Airlines
