Turkish Airlines drops Luanda as Angola's new airport struggles

The new airport handled 756,028 passengers in 2025 as airlines cut routes over weak demand and commercial pressures.

Summary by Euronews
The Istanbul carrier permanently axed Luanda, along with four other African routes, becoming the latest international airline to exit the Angolan capital since its new airport opened in 2023. The facility was built for 15 million annual passengers but handled fewer than 800,000 in 2025.
