I gather it is their oil industry that is driving this expansion. Every livery seems to suit the 777-300ER.

Angola’s flagship carrier, TAAG Linhas Aereas de Angola (Angola Airlines) took delivery of its first 777-300ER (extended range). The aircraft is the first purchased, owned and operated by an African carrier.
The delivery is the first of two aircraft ordered by TAAG in October 2009. They will be used to destinations including Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Lisbon and Oporto. The airline is also preparing its application to fly into the United States with its new 777-300ER’s.
TAAG currently flies 777-200ERs from Luanda, Angola to Lisbon seven times weekly, to Beijing once a week, to Dubai twice weekly, to Sao Paulo four times a week and to Rio de Janeiro three times weekly.

the old scheme was a classic and some of the fancy tail design stuff was ok but the plain “dirty” green scheme is horrible. Not really that keen on the All Nippon scheme to be honest even though I flew on one from Haneda to Itami and saw loads on Japan trip last year. ANA could do with a refresh. The TAAG scheme is great.

The first version of the PIA livery suited the aircraft, but after they added thos awful stripes…

yep…I am sure they worked very hard to get it wrong.

You would have to work very very hard to make a 773ER look bad.
The PIA scheme is truly awful.

I don’t think any aircraft can change the culture of an airline by itself.
Can you expand on why they “suck”?

Do you remember the commotion when their first 777-200ER was to be delivered in a new livery, but got repainted into their current livery.

Love the livery…has a bit of a modern yet retro feel to it. 🙂

Nice plane but the airline sucks. First hand experience.
