An Angolan technical-staffing company houses all of its personnel with Fortaleza under one agreement: a fixed block of rooms at AC Hotel for its core team, call-out rooms for peaks, and a transfer from Dr. António Agostinho Neto International Airport for every arrival.

What did the client need?

A staffing company that places technicians, welders and HSE specialists with operators in Angola has people arriving throughout the month. It wanted one supplier responsible for all of them: a room on arrival, a transfer from the airport, a predictable base of rooms, and flexibility for peaks, without a separate booking for each person.

What did Fortaleza arrange?

  • All of the client's personnel housed with Fortaleza, under one agreement.
  • A fixed block of rooms at AC Hotel for the permanent core, plus call-out rooms for peaks, so the client pays for a predictable base and only for the extra rooms it uses.
  • Every airport transfer: each arrival is met at Dr. António Agostinho Neto International Airport and driven to AC Hotel, 5–10 minutes away.

How does it run day to day?

The client sends flight details; Fortaleza schedules the pickup and reception holds the room, whether it comes from the fixed block or from call-out.

What this shows

A client's whole workforce can sit under one agreement: fixed rooms for the core, call-out rooms for peaks, and the airport transfer handled for every arrival.

Questions about this arrangement

Can one agreement cover all of our staff in Angola?

Yes. One client houses its entire workforce with Fortaleza under a single agreement, mixing a fixed block with call-out rooms.

Do you meet every arrival at the airport?

Yes. With flight details in advance, each arrival is met at the new airport and driven to AC Hotel, 5–10 minutes away.

Can we combine fixed rooms with rooms on demand?

Yes. A fixed block covers the permanent core; call-out rooms are added for peaks and invoiced as used.
