With this connection, the company advances to add eight destinations in Africa "thus reinforcing its role as a reference operator in the region, guaranteeing connection to a diversity of Lusophone, French-speaking and English-speaking countries".
Thus, he adds, the flag carrier "starts connecting 13 cities globally, namely: Ponta Negra (Republic of Congo), Accra (Ghana), Cape Town, Johannesburg (South Africa), Windhoek (Namibia), Maputo (Mozambique), Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of Congo), Lagos (Nigeria), São Tomé (São Tomé and Príncipe), Lisbon and Madrid in the European continent, as well as São Paulo and Havana in the Americas".
