TAAG Airlines of Angola has been removed entirely from the revised EC airline blacklist published earlier this week.
Angola's transport minister on Wednesday welcomed the removal of national airline TAAG from a EU blacklist, saying "The government made a good decision when it began the restructuring and refunding of TAAG," minister Augusto Tomas told state radio.
The EU on Tuesday authorised TAAG (Transportes Aereos de Angola) to resume flights to European territory, three years after placing the airline on its list of carriers banned from Europe for security reasons. "The (European) Commission recognises the improvements in the operations of TAAG Angola Airlines by allowing the air carrier to operate under certain strict conditions with specific aircraft to all destinations in the EU, not only to Lisbon," it said in a statement. Under the decision, TAAG must engage in bilateral negotiations with authorities in each country before flying to new destinations. The EU placed TAAG on its blacklist in July 2007 howver in July 2009, the EU authorised TAAG to resume flying to Portugal only.
