Emirates has strengthened its presence in Ghana with the launch of four additional weekly flights between Dubai and Accra, increasing its schedule to 11 services a week.
The first of the new flights, EK789, landed at Accra
International Airport this weekend, reflecting growing demand for travel and
enhanced global connectivity.
Operating every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, the
new service complements the airline's daily flight and introduces an early
morning arrival to improve connections from key markets including India, the
US, the UK and Germany.
Outbound services also provide convenient links to
destinations across Asia, Australia, Saudi Arabia and North America via Dubai.
Salem Almana, Emirates' Country Manager for Ghana, said:
"The arrival of this additional service reaffirms our long-term commitment
to Ghana, a market that has played an important role in Emirates' African
network for more than two decades. As travel demand continues to grow, we are
pleased to offer our customers greater flexibility and more choice, underpinned
by Emirates’ world-renowned inflight experience and hospitality.”
Yvonne Nana Afriyie Opare, Managing Director of Ghana
Airports Company Limited said: “The introduction of Emirates'
additional Dubai–Accra service is a strong endorsement of Ghana's growing
aviation sector and the increasing demand for international connectivity. It is
encouraging to see Emirates, a long-standing airline partner, continue to
expand its operations in Ghana, providing passengers with more travel options
while supporting the movement of people, goods and investment. At Ghana
Airports Company Limited, we remain committed to working closely with Emirates
and all our airline partners to strengthen connectivity, enhance the passenger
experience and position Accra International Airport as a preferred gateway to
West Africa.”
Emirates, which began serving Ghana in 2004, said the
expanded schedule will further support tourism, business travel and trade.
The additional flights are operated by Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, offering First, Business and Economy Class cabins, along with the airline's award-winning onboard services and entertainment. -TradeArabia News Service
