TAAG Angola Airlines Cargo Tracking

TAAG Angola Airlines, established as DTA in 1938 and rechristened TAAG in 1973, is the state-owned flag carrier of Angola operating from its headquarters in Luanda. In January 2024, TAAG moved approximately 1,000 tons of cargo between domestic, regional, and international destinations from its base at LAD to position Angola as a cargo hub. The airline achieved significant profitability with its cargo division generating US$67 million revenue in 2022, with expansion potential increased by moving operations to the new Dr. Antonio Agostinho Neto International Airport which can accommodate 50,000 tons of cargo annually.

The 118 prefix identifies TAAG Angola Airlines as the issuing carrier and stands at the beginning of each air waybill number, which has 11 digits total with the first 3 being the AWB prefix. The following 7-digit serial is the unique shipment number assigned to your specific cargo. The final digit is a check digit calculated as the serial number divided by 7, remainder only (mod-7). This prefix means your shipment is being handled by TAAG Angola Airlines' cargo network and will be routed through their cargo hubs.
