The precarious financial situation at TAAG Linhas Aéreas de Angola (DT), is about to bring the company to a difficult juncture as aircrews embarked on a strike Thursday 3 January 2013 over demands for better salaries, life and
health insurance, medical aid for both them and their families locally
and abroad as well as training of technicians. Pimentel Araújo, the CEO of TAAG, has called for direct talks, an offer spurned by the flight crews union.
