Turkish Airlines se retrage de pe 5 rute africane. Noul aeroport de 3,8 miliarde de $ din Angola pierde tot mai multe curse

Turkish Airlines has permanently withdrawn from five African routes, including Luanda, increasing pressure on Angola's new international airport. The airline had previously suspended these routes, citing rising fuel costs. The decision is significant for Angola, which invested heavily in the new airport designed to become a regional transport hub. Despite its capacity to handle 15 million passengers annually, the airport has struggled to attract traffic, serving less than 800,000 passengers in 2025. This situation reflects broader challenges for Angola in establishing a successful international aviation hub, requiring both infrastructure and sufficient passenger demand.
