Taag is the national airline of Angola. From its base in Luanda (LAD) it flies a network that includes Africa, Brazil (Sao Paulo), the Caribbean (Havana), Portugal (Lisbon and Porto) and stretches out as far a China (Beijing). From 2007 to 2010 it has been banned from the European Union skies for safety concerns. It is one of the few airlines remaining with a comfortable 3+3+3 (9 seats) cross-section in Economy on its B777s, though its Business Class features a rather unusual 2+3+2 which severely limits the comfort of passengers sitting in the middle seat of the central section of the cabin  (Photo Wikimedia Commons / Cruks)
