New regulations and significant investment in crucial infrastructure is helping Angola to attract interest from a host of international investors
-
In recent years the transport sector in Angola has undergone a substantial overhaul that has led to the implementation of new policies, the formation of regulatory and supervisory bodies and the creation of new infrastructure. Led by the Ministry of Transport, the significant improvements have helped to create a competitive and attractive sector that is drawing increased interest and investment from the private sector.
One of the largest and most important projects has been the creation of the Dr António Agostinho Neto International Airport, which was officially inaugurated on November 10, 2023. Situated in the capital of Luanda, cargo operations are already underway, while domestic flights will begin in the months ahead and international passengers are expected to use the airport by the summer.
