TAAG Angola Airlines (DT, Luanda 4 De Fevereiro) has announced the accelerated delivery in early October 2025 of its second B787-9, D2-TER (msn 66913), two years ahead of schedule, following negotiations with Boeing.
In a statement, the airline acknowledged Boeing's support for its fleet renewal. "The aircraft will initially arrive in an economy and premium economy configuration, aligned with the manufacturer’s immediate availability, but with the possibility of future reconfiguration to better meet the preferences of both Angolan and international passengers," it said.
TAAG ordered four B787s -two B787-9s and two B787-10s - as whitetails from Boeing in October 2023, to be reconfigured to TAAG's specifications.
The delivery of the first B787-9, D2-TEQ (msn 66877), on a sale-lease-back agreement from AerCap, was delayed from December 2024 until January 29, 2025. The first larger B787-10 was initially scheduled for February 2025 and then for July-August. The airline has not confirmed new delivery dates. The B787s will replace TAAG's current fleet of three B777-200ERs and five B777-300ERs.
The new widebodies form part of a fleet modernisation programme that has also seen TAAG take delivery of its third A220-300 in June 2025. A fourth is expected in late 2025, part of a 15-unit order to serve the airline’s growing regional footprint.
