Unum wins TAAG Angola Airlines contract
The Unum One Business Class seat selected by Taag Angola
TAAG Angola Airlines (TAAG), the national flag carrier of Angola, has selected Unum Aircraft Seating’s Unum One Business Class seat for its new fleet of 787 Dreamliner aircraft.
The project is part of TAAG’s ongoing investment in enhancing passenger experience and fleet modernization. The airline is due to receive four 787 aircraft, equally split between 787-9s and 787-10s, with the first 787-9 delivered in February this year, with the airline planning to use the new fleet to expand its international long-haul operations into Europe.
Panasonic Avionics inflight entertainment will be integrated into the business class suites, with Boeing Global Services handling the cabin integration for the project. The seats are due to be delivered in 2026.
TSO certification for Unum One is on track for 2025, and with further delivery slots available in 2026.
According to Miguel Carneiro, Chief Commercial Officer at TAAG, “Introducing Unum One into our business class cabin gives us the tools to enhance comfort and quality for our passengers. This upgrade aligns with our ongoing commitment to delivering a world-class travel experience.”
Chris Brady, founder and CEO of Unum, said, “The launch of our first customer programme with TAAG is a major milestone, and TAAG’s choice of Unum One reflects their commitment to enhancing the passenger experience. “Our seats provide greater comfort for passengers while making life easier for airlines, delivering both luxury and refinement. We’re proud to support TAAG and look forward to seeing Unum One flying aboard their Boeing B787s soon.”
