The opening flight of Angolan air carrier (TAAG) from Luanda to Dubai, has already taken its route to the economic capital of the United Arab Emirates, after a technical stopover in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
According to a communiqué, made available to Angop on Tuesday, TAAG flight with 122 passengers onboard was forced to stopover in Addis Ababa, for not having a permission from Yemen authorities to fly over that Asian nation's air space.
"Thanks to diligences made by our diplomatic authorities in Addis Ababa and Dubai, that the difficulties were overcome and TAAG flight number DT 550 is heading to Dubai, where it might land on at any time", reads the communiqué issued by the national air carrier.
On the opening flight to Dubai, the Angolan company is using a Boeing 777 allowed to fly over thirteen consecutive hours and capable to transport 420 passengers onboard
