Miguel Carneiro

Chief Commercial Officer / Chief Transformation Officer

Miguel Carneiro is TAAG – Angola Airlines Chief Commercial Officer. He is an aviation professional with over two decades experience and has been a key leading figure at the forefront of TAAG´s ongoing transformation into a customer centric airline, while correspondingly building a sustainable path towards profitability. Miguel is passionate about aviation in Africa and excels at identifying business opportunities, forging strategic partnerships, and growing passenger, cargo and ancillaries' revenue thru a mix of brick and mortar as well as digital strategies. He holds a bachelor’s degree in aviation business administration, with area of concentration in airline management from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach Florida, an MBA from IESE Business School in Barcelona, as well as a postgraduate degree in strategy and innovation from the University of Oxford.

In February 2026, his role was formally expanded when he was appointed Chief Transformation Officer (CTO) , while he remained an Executive Director. In this capacity, he was given delegated powers to implement the Strategic Plan and the transformation programs of TAAG.

Even before his official CTO title, as Chief Commercial Officer (CCO), Carneiro was the driving force behind the airline's transformation. His role encompasses several key areas that together form the backbone of TAAG's new direction.
