Fly Angola
Angolan private airline From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fly Angola (FLA),[2] stylized FLУ AO Angola,[A][3] is a privately owned airline[1] based in the country of Angola, specifically at Quatro de Fevereiro Airport in the nation's capital, Luanda.[3] It was established in September 2018 by a "Portuguese agency" and "backed up" by Angolan investment firm Gestomobil.[1][4][5] The airline flies to Angola's provincial capitals from its hub.[4]
Fleet
As of June 2020, the airline only owns one Embraer EMB-145 LR registered D2-FDF filled with 50 standard economy class in a 1-2 configuration, with a second one planned to be ordered once the airline has secured its own Air Operator's Certificate.[1][6] It is said that the motive behind the single-aircraft order is as a "trial."[7] The airline was planning in late 2019 to buy a 30-seat Embraer EMB-120.[1][8] The airline's services are performed by a local partner, Angolan airline AeroJet, which owns Fly Angola's AOC.[1][7]
