TAP Cargo increased its volume of cargo shipped to Angola by 10 per cent in 2009, thereby confirming the company’s investment in its connections to the Angolan capital. This figure is even more significant in a year when the global economic crisis caused an overall drop in both cargo and passenger traffic.
In addition to an increase from seven to ten weekly TAP flights, growth in cargo traffic to Angola received a significant boost from special operations carried out in 16 freighter aircraft. These wet lease operations took place in DC10 (10 flights), B747 (2 flights) and MD11 (4 flights) aircraft and transported 1,100 tonnes of cargo originating largely from Lisbon and Oporto.
