Travellers flying between Brazil and Southern Africa now have another option to consider, following a new codeshare agreement between TAAG Angola Airlines from Angola and Brazilian airline LATAM Brasil.
The partnership connects LATAM Brasil's domestic network with TAAG flights via São Paulo/Guarulhos (GRU). It covers 57 Brazilian destinations, including Rio de Janeiro, Brasília, Salvador, Recife, Fortaleza, Florianópolis and Foz do Iguaçu.
For travellers, the main advantage is the ability to book combined LATAM Brasil and TAAG itineraries, making it easier to travel from cities across Brazil towards Southern Africa via São Paulo and Dr. António Agostinho Neto International Airport (NBJ) near Luanda or OR Tambo International Airport (JNB) in Johannesburg.
Eligible connecting itineraries also offer benefits such as coordinated check-in, baggage handling and passenger assistance during connections. The combined tickets are already being offered through TAAG's sales channels.
An alternative route to Southern Africa
The agreement could be particularly useful for Brazilian travellers heading to Angola, Namibia, South Africa and potentially other Southern African destinations. Johannesburg, in particular, provides extensive onward connections across the region.
TAAG and LATAM have also indicated that the partnership could eventually be expanded to include LATAM's international network in South and North America, potentially creating even more routing options between the two continents.
For now, travellers planning a Brazil–Southern Africa trip should compare the new TAAG/LATAM options with existing routes, particularly when looking for a convenient single-ticket itinerary.
