Bom trabalho caro Hammelkar, se puderes, porque não dar um salto ao aeroporto e tirar tuas próprias fotos? Claro, se já estiver aberto ao público, porque algo nosso tem sempre uma outra pinta. Quanto ao preço da obra, é inacreditável, estava orçado em 74 milhões de $ e acabou por custar mais que o dobro e ainda há algo por fazer, os taxiways. Não duvido da qualidade das obras da somague, mesmo de olhos vedados, dou-lhes nota positiva, tb já sei que a maior parte do material é importado, mais os custos alfandegários. mas, mesmo assim...:ohno: Enfim, isto é Angola

Normalmente as remodelações são sempre mais caras. Mas pelo que vi na TPA até que nem foi assim tão caro. O Aeroporo esta muito melhor. Mais acolhedor e seguro. Quantas as fotos, assim que viajar faço-as caso contrário terei que recorrer a sempre a outras fontes. Porque os pontos estratégicos do país é sempre difícil fotografar. Senão já haveria muita foto no forum. Esperamos para ver o que vai acontecer no CAN:cheers:

Don´t get me wrong ...but for an oil country the international airport is really too small and not at all representative, can´t wait to see the other airport completed.

not at all I totally I agree with you..because they said the airport would be completed in 2010..let's wait...but damn it I wait :(

That's why the bigger one is under construction...

You definitely right Matt. But step by step may freind. The Airport is much better today. Only the people that have used him in the past would agree and understand what im saying. And the main goal here was not the size but the funcionality of the building. They say it will have also an Hotel and small a gallerie, especialy for the passangers in transit to others destinies. Regarding the new airport will start operation around 2011/2012. So lets wait and see what the future reserves for us. Until there the old airport will continue to suffer upgrades to make him much better for travels.
And i think even after the new airport is built the old one will continue to operate also as an international airport. Luanda will have more than one airport, like Milan, London, Rio de Janeiro, Paris, New York, etc:cheers:

Happy New Year folks, A Fantastic 2010 for all of you:banana::banana::cheers::)

nossa.. quanta diferenca!! finalmente Luanda com um terminal um pouco mais digno com o crescimento atual do país... aquela coisa horrenda figurava entre os piores aeroportos do mundo. Agora só aguardar o termino do novo aeroporo, esse sim creio que superara todas as expectativas..

esperemos que sim...quantos aeroportos internacionais tem o rio de Janeiro?São Paulo e Brasília?Bahia?

angola daqui a 30 anos será fenomenal(se continuar crescendo)

This is such a great improvement from before:

Thanks for the pics guys.

Aqui no Brasil temos diversos aeroportos, depois dos EUA é o país com o maior número de pistas no mundo. Todas as capitais dos estados possuem aeroportos qualificados como internacionais, além de algumas outras cidades como foz do iguacu, campinas... Grande parte dos aeroportos brasileiros foram recentemente remodelados possuindo terminais muito bonitos porém ineficazes para a grande demanda, esse será o grande desafio para a COpa de 2014. O principal aeroporto do país é o Aeroporto Internacional de Sao Paulo localizado na cidade de Guarulhos, é simplesmente o pior aeroporto que eu já frequentei.. é extremamente pequeno para a demanda e totalmente caótico, odeio ter que fazer viagens de avião pois sei que será um sofrimento. Está em curso a construcao do terceiro terminal inspirado no aero de Dubai mas com previsão apenas para termino em 2013. Já há tambem um plano de expansao do Aeroporto Internacional de Campinas, um pouco mais longe que o de Guarulhos, porém com um ótimo acesso e com a futura linha de trem de alta velocidade que fará o trajeto Campinas - SP- Guarulhos- Rio de Janeiro. mais tarde posto algumas fotos.

parece bem thanks Hammelkar :applause:

Pelo menos as pessoas ja não têm que esperar pelos passageiro lá fora, como faziam anteriormente independentemente das condições climáticas.

espero que o novo seje 100 x melhor que esse...era bom que eles deixassem as pessoas ir ver como andam as obras...

Wow, LAD is looking good! This new terminal will do the job well until the new airport is eventually opened. Thanks a lot for these photos, skytrax.


Futuras máquinas de Self Service Check-In da TAAG (eram no mínimo 6 delas) :cheers:


I'm very happy to see these. There are very few airports I can think of in Africa that have them. Also great to see TAAG taking steps to improve their service.

excelente...mas é muito pequeno não vejo hora do super ficar pronto..boas fotos sky como sempre :banana:

Caro Sky, o que foi feito do terraço do aeroporto de Luanda?
ainda existe ou foi modificado para outra coisa?

Caro Sky, o que foi feito do terraço do aeroporto de Luanda?

Não sei. Mas deu a impressão de ver uma porta de passagem para o tal terraço. Mas não tenho a certeza e também não sei se é para uso público.
Já em releção aos serviço prestados, estes sim é que devem melhorar. É inaceitável que ainda nenhuma loja esteja aberta, nem mesmo as companhias aéras; devem estar a espera de convite com certeza! E a cena onde se protegem as bagagens fecha tão cedo que os passageiros dos voos nocturnos têm que viajar sem protecção, sujeitamos-nos assim a que aqueles tipos brutos da Gassist nos danifiquem as malas... :ohno:
Ao menos ja temos elevados e escadas rolantes :lol::lol:

Caro Sky, o que foi feito do terraço do aeroporto de Luanda?

Bom pelo que observei nas fotos do Sky, o tal terraço foi fechado e no mesmo piso tem um restaurante e uma loja :).
Li também ontem no Jornal de Angola que o freeshop do aeroporto vai abrir nos próximos dias com um nº de 26 Lojas.:cheers:

Estas ultimas retirei do blogue "angolabelazebelo.com" enquanto as outras são de minha autoria. Obviamente a qualidade pode sempre melhor. Mas como sabes fotografar em Luanda não é nada fácil, daí que não consegui tirar fotos avontade. Epá, sinto mesmo mal quando as pessoas ficam a olhar como se fosse um criminoso ou sei la o quê. Então basicamente tens de esconder a câmara pra tirar foto, até porque o guarda faz questão de te tentar tirar a câmara mal se aperceba do que andas a tramar... :ohno:

Vc é um rapaz sorteado, Sky. Viajas no mais novo B737-700 da Sonair, o D2-EWS e ainda aterras na 25/07 com o agravante de me levar ao delírio com estas belas fotos. Desta vez pude ver tdos os aviões novos da Taag e Sonair, o D2-TEE parqueado no hangar na tua foto mto me escapou o ano passado :banana:, deixe-me dizer que o nosso aeroporto apesar de ainda não ser o matulão desejado, mudou mto e para melhor, apesar de algúns constragimentos ainda existentes.

belas fotos parece que Luanda Airport está ocupado :applause:

can´t wait for the new airport...don´t get me wrong, it is ok but not what suits Angola these days...

^^ Matt this photos are from domestic terminal (not international)! Looks how much different it is nowadays.
But yes, we all can't wait for the new one.

Thanks for the photos, Skytrax. Do SonAir and TAAG operate out of different terminals for domestic flights? I thought I had seen that SonAir has their own terminal entirely.

I don't think so! From my knowledge of our airport... there are only two terminals...National and Internationl. If they fly domestic, they must fly in the same terminal. :lol:

^^

Kizaca, Sonair is also it's own hangar. But that one is of course not used by regular passengers, only for personal related to the company.

Eu sempre ouví dizer que eles têm o seu próprio terminal, mas se não é verdade, que terminal tú usaste ou usas qdo viajas pela Sonair?
Faço esta pergunta porque eles tb fazem vôos domêsticos que não são para trabalhadores deles.
À propôsito, de que terminal partem os pax da Heli Malongo e da Fly 540?

Agostinho, os passageiros normais usam simplesmente o terminal de voos domésticos. Foi esse mesmo que eu usei quando fui para a Catumbela.

este vídeo está o máximo, gostei imenso, boas festas, seu sortudo.

Luanda está bombando! Sempre se falou da criação de um voo regular LAD-SSA, ainda mais porque como a sede da Odebrecht é em Salvador, e há centenas, talvez milhares de funcionários da construtora em Angola, essa seria uma rota natural, além dos charters de final de ano que a Taag sempre fez justamente para levar funcionários da Odebrecht para passar o natal em casa.

Nice video skytrax! How was your flight with Iberia? Compared to TAAG?

Nice video skytrax! How was your flight with Iberia? Compared to TAAG?

The service at Iberia are quite bad, and the airplane are sooo old. TAAG is definitely a better choice, I have to say.
The big advantage is that they offer more transportation weight and tickets are much cheaper at Iberia.

Oh i see! so Iberia seems a quite a good choice...

^^ Open a thread about airline livery then?!

What?what are you saying?

Luanda airport isn't that busy it's actually very narrow in terms of the airport building this problem is going to be solved in few years, This new year the first stage of the new airport of Luanda is supposed to be open, as to the traffic, my dear forummer, do not just underestimate it, if you go to Forum Africa and sub-forum African aviation, you'll see that for the past years Luanda airport has been in the 20 Busiest Airports of Africa on the quarters or semesters of the year despite its size and it has already improved a lot, of course a lot needs to be done yet.

^^ Isn't our narrow Luanda airport busier than his beloved Khartoum one?? :lol:

You wish!! 23 or 24. And KLM will start next years when TAAG will star operating in Berlin.
Only between Luanda and Europe there are 68 flights (or more) a week!!!

Btw, Luanda airport international code is LAD and not Lud!! I see you know a lot about aviation.. :|

Khartoum international airport is serving nearly 32 different airlines true is sudan airways is very bad but the foreign airlines cover the lack of sudan airways and British Airways is going to fly to KRT so is Oman Air

Btw you can enter Wikipedia to make sure of my information compare the size of airlines in KRT to LUD

Khartoum international airport is serving nearly 32 different airlines true is sudan airways is very bad but the foreign airlines cover the lack of sudan airways and British Airways is going to fly to KRT so is Oman Air

Is not the number of it airlines that is important but the number of its frequency per week. For example: Tap has only a single route (Lisbon-Luanda-Lisbon), yet they have 24 flights a week flying between both cities!! That more than what 3 single European airlines do at Khartoum airport! And TAAG has also another 24 between Luanda and Portugal (Luanda-Lisbon-Luanda and Luanda-Porto-Luanda)... That's already more than what 6-10 airlines can do at Khartoum airport!!!

Anyway, here is an outdated statistic table of the busiest airport in Africa, before the upgrade of our airport!

I guess I'm seeing Luanda increasing when Khartoum is falling..

some info update on Luanda´s most mysterious project its NEW & GIGANTIC international airport...but it is not a phantom but truly u/c...first phase will open in 2012




Novo aeroporto de Luanda fica pronto até ao início de 2014

09/01/2012

O novo aeroporto de Luanda vai ficar concluído até ao início de 2014, sendo que em finais de Agosto deste ano será inaugurada a primeira fase de construção. A informação foi anunciada pelo ministro dos Transportes de Angola, Augusto Mateus, que realçou que a obra está a correr a bom ritmo, respeitando os prazos estabelecidos.
Localizada no município de Viana e a 40 km da capital, a nova infraestrutura ficará inteiramente concluída dentro de 26 meses, disse o governante. Até Agosto de 2012 será finalizada a primeira fase, com a conclusão das obras da torre de controlo, edifício da administração aeronáutica, terminal VIP, área dos bombeiros, zona de voos norte e edifício do terminal principal.
A construção do novo aeroporto decorre desde o final de 2008, numa área de 1.324 hectares. Quando concluída, a infraestrutura contará com duas pistas duplas com capacidade de aterragem do maior avisão comercial do mundo, o Airbus A380. A placa de estacionamento dos aviões terá cerca de 582.000 m² e a área para manobra dos aviões rondará os 5.125 m². Além disso, os terminais do aeroporto vão dispor de 31 mangas, das quais 20 para área internacional e 11 para a área doméstica.
Segundo o ministro Augusto Mateus, o fluxo anual de carga transportada rondará as 600 mil toneladas anuais.

...with 31 airbridges it will even be the largest in Africa - in terms of size...I am not quite sure of Cairo´s and Jo´Burg´s, though. How many airbridges do these airports have? Lagos has 15.

No one knows for sure. I think they will just close it. But I have no idea what will happen to this terrain.

O que vão fazer com esse aeroporto quando novo abrir?

Demolir, espero... :cheers2:

será reablitado e ampliado...

Demolir, espero... :cheers2:

Acabaram de gastar um bom dinheiro reformando ele, que absurdo! Acho que devem manter alguns voos domésticos para cidades mais próximas além de servir como base para a força aérea angolana. Quando construíram o aeroporto de Guarulhos em São Paulo não demoliram o antigo de Congonhas.

Além do que, caso aconteça algum problema no novo aeroporto, os voos podem ser alternados para o 4 de fevereiro.

Demolir, espero... :cheers2:

That would be perfect! I do hope that you are right!:cheers:

The area could be used better...it is never good to have an airport close to a city...that´s why the new one is more than 40km away ...in most countries airports are not centrally located due to safety reasons....and new airports that are built are almost always far off from city centres.

The demolishment of the old airport would be perfect and the whole area could be transformed into a nice tropical public park or a vast entertainment complex for families and tourists.

It seems to me that the actual airport is in the poorest area of Luanda nowadays, that would be a probrem for building an entertainment complex or other kind of enterprises directed to middle classes.

Really, I am yearning to see the new aiport which is under construction...this aiport would have been very good for the 1960s but not for 2012! As I said earlier it is high-time!!!

Come on Matt, currently airport doesn't look bad at all! Of course it doesn't give anybody the "WOW" effect, but you can't really say that is bad, do you? I guess you have no idea of the reality of that airport 4 years ago..

Angola is not Burundi or Chad....hence, one would expect more than that...airports are the first thing that foreigners see when they enter a country, they should have somehow a woow-effect.....this airport is a joke, I am sorry for being so rude and honest....but for a city as big as Luanda the airport is a disenchantment.

Luanda should have an airport like that in Durban http://dmm.travel/fileadmin/media/news/luftfahrt/La_Mercy_Flughafen_in_Durban.jpg which I posted in the Durban thread, too....I am not asking for Johannesburg, btw.

In the meantime, I am eagerly awaiting the new aiport.:colbert::)

Podes crer...4 de Feveiro has come a long way, believe you me.

Hellooooooooooo are you living in the moon?! :bash:

Of course you are fully aware that a new airport is u/c, so I don't really know what you are complaining. They did an upgrade on the airport for ACN2010, and knowing you the airport wat 4 years ago, I'm more than happy with the results. Specially knowing that a new much bigger and better is on the way.

Podes crer...4 de Feveiro has come a long way, believe you me.

E como, meu amigo. :)

Hellooooooooooo are you living in the moon?! :bash:

(...).

So am I living on the moon when I say that Luanda should have an airport the size, efficiency and modernity like that in Durban? I don´t think so.
I thought you aim for the good of your country instead of being filled with glee when you see an airport that could be any "village" aiport.


As I said, I am eagerly awaiting the opening of the new airport that would suit a city like Luanda way better than this makeshift solution.

Did Durban go out of a 30+ years war?? They are building already the new airport!! I honestly don't understand what you are complaining about. The new airport coming dude.. :nuts:

I just can´t understand that you seem to like the current airport even if it has been improved, it still looks wack, let´s be honest...Luanda merits something better than this.

Hence, I am waiting for better times while having a cup of tea!http://smilys.net/kolobok_smilies/smiley1737.gif

Não faças esta cara, gostei das tuas fotos, mas te esqueceste de fotografar um pouco mais a placa e pelos aviões que vejo, este vôo foi num sábado.

Lol, dou a mão e querem logo o braço.. Deves ter notado que as fotos foram tiradas já no final da tarde. A hora do embarque, finalmente fui pra placa já o crepúsculo tinha ocorrido..

yes yes a new one is coming but it seems to keep getting delayed... why?

Crisis.. :dunno:

No one knows for sure. I think they will just close it. But I have no idea what will happen to this terrain.

Though the new Luanda Airport will commence before year-end, quoting the Africa Monitor through this blog...
