Angola's Premier Cargo & Aviation Company Since 1998
SONAIR was established in 1998 as a subsidiary of Sonangol, Angola's state oil company, to provide reliable air transport solutions for Angola's booming oil and gas industry. Over the decades we have grown into a full-spectrum aviation and cargo services provider serving critical routes across Angola, Africa, and beyond.
Headquartered at Luanda's Quatro de Fevereiro International Airport (LAD), SONAIR operates a modern fleet delivering time-critical cargo, personnel, and technical equipment to offshore platforms, remote field locations, and international destinations.
