Luanda – The Angolan Airlines (TAAG), on Saturday (01 Oct) began operating with a contingency plan to minimise the effects of the company's pilots strike, scheduled for the seventh of this month.
According to a press release to which ANGOP has had access to, the contingency plan includes the rescheduling of international and domestic flights, as well as technical stopover flights, from the seventh day of this month.
According to the document, TAAG´s board received on 20 July a list of demands from the Airline Pilots Union (SPLA) claiming issues related to the activities of that class.
In this context, the airline, as part of the dialogue, scheduled several negotiation meetings with the pilots union, between the 3rd and 7th of this month, in order to work on the situation together.
“Since receiving the book of demands, TAAG has held meetings where it has presented several resolution proposals, duly framed within its financial reality, with the strong objective of minimising and avoiding a strike”, says the document from TAAG.
