In a statement sent to VerAngola, the carrier explains that, as part of its plan to restore its fleet and increase the number of aircraft in service for the passenger transport segment, it decided to invest in the "strengths of its human capital", namely national engineers and maintenance technicians.
As such, Angolans were tasked with restoring the Boeing 777-200 aircraft, registration D2-TED, which had been out of service since 2020, having been grounded during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Following the success of the "operation", the aircraft has now been reclassified into the general flight schedule, thus increasing the availability of aircraft for the company's international connections.
TAAG highlights the "technical capacity and valorization of local content skills", mentioning that the interior and seat restoration work, as well as the recovery of components and preservation of critical functions of the aircraft were carried out in the country, by Angolan technicians from the company.
The dynamics of aircraft recovery and maintenance are ongoing, especially for older equipment, and TAAG has been "progressively increasing the availability of aircraft for domestic, regional and international services", the statement adds.
