WARDEN MESSAGE ---- #03
April 2, 2008

This message is intended for all American citizens visiting or residing in Angola.  Wardens, please distribute the following notice to all American citizens within your registration zone as soon as possible.  Thank you.

This warden message is being released to provide information to Americans on the use of TAAG airlines by U.S. Government personnel.

The U.S. Embassy in Luanda has prohibited its employees from using TAAG, Angola’s national airline, for domestic or international flights due to concerns regarding safety and maintenance.

Americans living or traveling in Angola are encouraged to register their presence with the U.S. Embassy's Consular Section through the State Department’s travel registration website, https://travelregistration.state.gov/, and to review also the Embassy's Internet website at http://usembassy.state.gov/angola for the latest travel and security information within Angola.  Americans without Internet access may register directly at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate.  Registration will permit the Consular Section to contact registered individuals in case of an emergency. 

For the latest security information, Americans living and traveling abroad should regularly monitor the Department’s Bureau of Consular Affairs Internet web site at http://travel.state.gov, where the current Worldwide Caution, Public Announcements, and Travel Warnings can be found.  Up-to-date information on security can also be obtained by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll-free in the U.S. and Canada, or, for callers outside the U.S. and Canada, a regular toll line at 1-202-501-4444.  These numbers are available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday (except U.S. federal holidays).
