Buses on sale
Luanda Public Urban Transport (TCUL) buses are connecting to Dr. António Agostinho Neto International Airport (AIAAN) with promotional prices, a reduction of 50 percent.
Data obtained shows that the “short semi-express” buses, which leave from points closer to the airport, such as Sequele, Cacuaco and Viana, instead of the normal 500 kwanzas, are charging, until December 10th, only 250 kwanzas. The “long semi-express” buses, whose route is the city center (1o de Maio) – AIAAN or even the one that leaves from Benfica or Kilamba to AIAAN, instead of the fixed price of 1,000 kwanzas, are charging only 500.
TCUL has already announced the deployment of 35 buses on ten routes to support passenger operations to and from Dr. António Agostinho Neto International Airport.

The 12 daily frequencies of the Luanda Railways are operating normally, over these two days, in the same way, and on the “Expresso” route, with a generic price of 5,000 kwanzas.
The CFL Management reassures users about the entry of the normal train for 1,350 kwanzas.
Support services
Like the others, the restaurant and bar services at AIAAN are also operating normally during these two days of flight operations. There are two of them, one in the Duty Free area, which is located after completing the immigration procedures and waiting for boarding time.
