Angola: TAAG pilots threaten to strike June 15-25
Angolan Air Transport (TAAG) pilots announce plans to strike for better pay, working conditions June 15-25; flight disruptions possible
Event
Pilots at the Angolan national carrier TAAG (Angolan Air Transport) are set to go on strike from Thursday, June 15, through June 25 to demand better wages and working conditions. Flight delays and cancelations are possible throughout the airline's network during this 11-day period.
Context
This movement follows months of unsuccessful attempts to reach a consensus between pilots and airline management. The most recent round of talks began in March concerning issues such as salaries, health insurance, flight licenses, and workplace accidents. TAAG management and the pilot union remain open to dialogue.
Advice
Passengers planning to fly on affected days should confirm their flight status and contact the airline for further details.
