TAAG said “adverse atmospheric conditions” caused the turbulence that reportedly hit as the plane flew over the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Eight passengers required medical attention, and a doctor on board treated one of the injured.
TAAG said in a statement that an ambulance and medical team were dispatched to Lisbon Airport, where the flight landed at 8:37 p.m., seven hours and 18 minutes after takeoff.
Portuguese media reported that many of the passengers were showing symptoms of anxiety.
Heavy rains in the Angolan capital meant that a flight to Lisbon scheduled for later in the day was postponed because of the slippery runway.
The European Union banned TAAG aircraft from entering European airspace in July 2007 due to safety concerns.
The ban was lifted entirely in April 2019 after several partial relaxations over the years.
