Connecting flights with Luena, Dundo, Saurimo, Huambo, Uíge, Namibe, Catumbela, Soyo, Cape Town and Johannesburg (South Africa), Windhoek (Namibia) and São Paulo (Brazil) are cancelled.

TAAG canceled nine flights for Saturday, including connections between Luanda/Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of Congo), Luanda/Lagos (Nigeria) and Luanda/Windhoek.

The new schedule also changed the schedules of 16 flights and canceled seven flights scheduled for Saturday.

As for Sunday, seven flights were canceled and the schedules of 18 flights were changed.

TAAG pilots are demanding pay improvements and have gone on strike after negotiations with the company's management failed.
