DTATemplate:Spaced ndashDivisão dos Transportes Aéreos (1938–1973)

DTA F-27-200 CR-LEP BUG 1965 - A DTA Fokker F-27-200 at Benguela Airport in 1965.

The origins of the Air carrier|carrier can be traced back to 1937, when the president of Portugal Óscar Carmona commended Joaquim de Almedia Baltazar to create an airline in Portuguese Angola|Angola.{{sfnp|Guttery|1998|p=20 In September 1938, DTATemplate:Spaced ndashDivisão dos Transportes Aéreos was formed as a division of the Administration of Railways, Harbours, and Air Transport of Portuguese West Africa.[6][7][8] It was owned and run by the government, which authorised the acquisition of three De Havilland Dragon Rapide|Dragons and two Junkers Ju 52s, although the latter two aircraft were not delivered due to the outbreak of the Second World War.{{sfnp|Guttery|1998|p=20 Operations began on 17 July 1940,[7] using De Havilland Dragon Rapide biplanes.{{sfnp|Guttery|1998|p=20The first routes to be operated were founded by the Aero Club of Angola and included two main lines: one running between Luanda and Pointe Noire, having connections with Union Aéromaritime de Transport|Aeromaritime services to Europe, and the other being Luanda–Benguela–Lobito that was later extended to Namibe|Moçâmedes. Flights were intermittently discontinued during World War 2 due to the scarcity of spare parts, but by the end of the war the airline resumed operations. Two Stinson Reliants bought from the Belgian Congo in 1944 permitted the carrier to resume coastal services. The DC-3 and the Beechcraft Model 18 joined the fleet in 1946. In {{MONTHNAME|3 that year, a new route to Kinshasa|Leopoldville was launched.{{sfnp|Guttery|1998|p=20The airline joined the International Air Transport Association in 1951.[9] Also this year and the company extended the Leopoldville route far east, serving Maputo|Lourenço Marques, but this destination was later abandoned due to poor financial performance.[10] DTA also operated a route linking Luanda with Lourenço Marques via Livingstone, Zambia|Livingstone between 1951 and 1952; poor occupation prompted the airline to terminate the service. A 700|mi|adj=on long route to São Tomé was launched in 1956.Template:Sfnp

By {{start date|1960|4 and the fleet was composed of four Beech 18s, seven DC-3s and three de Havilland Dragon Rapide|DH.89s.[11] A year later, DTA became the third African airline in ordering the Fokker F-27, with two aircraft acquired. At this time and the company had a route network that was 3300|mi long.[12] The F-27s were incorporated into the fleet in 1962.[6] Served with these brand new aircraft, Windhoek was added to the route network that year.{{sfnp|Guttery|1998|p=21

The European Union (EU), in its fourth update of the list of blacklisted airlines released in {{start date|2007|7, banned TAAG aircraft from entering into European airspace because of safety concerns.[66][67] At the same time and the United Kingdom barred TAAG from flying into its territory, just before the airline was about to start services to London-Gatwick; in retaliation, Angola banned British Airways from landing within the nation's borders.[66] The carrier announced it was losing === Currencies === 1 USD$ | 3.75 SR | 4.67 M$ | 0.92 Euro | 26.05 Turkish Lira | 35.80 THB | 14,990 IDR million a month owing to the ban.[68] To continue operating Flights to Europe, TAAG wet-leased a Boeing 747-400 from South African Airways (SAA).[69][70] Following the EU ban, in November 2008 the entire TAAG board was replaced and a new board was appointed with the objective of turning the carrier round, and in particular getting it removed from the EU blacklist. At the time, according to the Transport Minister, Augusto da Silva Tomás, in 14 months the company lost about US$70 million (€55.6 million). The turn-round plan included staff reductions – before the action was taken and there were about 5,000 staff.[71] During 2008, TAAG launched a new route to Beijing.[72]

It was announced in May 2009 that TAAG had passed IATA inspections.[73] In {{start date|2009|7, TAAG received permission to operate Flights to Europe under restricted conditions, as it was allowed to fly only into Portugal and using only its three Boeing 777s.[47][74][75] This partial lift of the ban made TAAG the only Angolan airline that was permitted to operate into the EU.[47] After nearly two years of being banned from EU airspace, TAAG deployed its own aircraft on the European corridor immediately.[76] TAAG then returned the Boeing 747–400 to South African Airways.{{when|date=August 2017 In November 2009 and the European Commission extended the permission to TAAG's four Boeing 737-700s.[48][77][78] Also in November 2009, TAAG restarted services to Havana; many Cuban doctors and teachers reside in Angola and the flight exists to help transport them.[79] In late March 2010, restrictions over TAAG operations were relaxed again following the announcement the airline could fly its Boeing 777-200ERs and 737-700s to all European airports.[49][80]

In December 2010, two engine incidents involving TAAG's Boeing 777-200ERs forced the carrier to ground the three aircraft of the type.[81][82]

In {{start date|2012|4 and the ban was partially lifted, but some aircraft were still prevented to fly the European Air Space.[83] An updated version of the list of airlines banned in the EU released in early {{start date|2012|12 still included part of TAAG's fleet; however, five Boeing 777s and four Boeing 737-700s were allowed to operate into the EU;[84] there were little or no changes in the list regarding the aircraft the airline was allowed to fly into the EU, following the release of the 11 latest versions of the list in {{start date|2013|7,[55] {{start date|2013|12,[56] {{start date|2014|4,[57] {{start date|2014|12,[58] {{start date|2015|6,[59] {{start date|2015|12,[60] {{start date|2016|6,[61] {{start date|2016|12,[62] {{start date|2017|5,[63] {{start date|2017|11,[64] and Template:Start date.[65]

In late {{start date|2014|9, a ten-year management concession agreement between Emirates (airline)|Emirates and the Government of Angola was signed; the deal also covered codeshare agreement|flight codesharing and the coordination of frequent flier programmes.[85][86] In the first full year of operation under the agreement, annual losses were cut from $175m to $5m; the Ernst & Young -audited figures for January to December 2016 were approved at the airline's Board meeting on 9 March 2017.[87]
