British Airways first Gatwick to Accra flight touches down
British Airways’ new Accra flights have officially launched.
The inaugural flight from London Gatwick touched down at Kotoka International Airport at the weekend.
It received a warm West African welcome with dancers, drummers and a VIP delegation, including the British High Commissioner to Ghana, Harriet Thompson.
Accra flights operate three times a week from Gatwick on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.
It is set to expand to four flights a week from April next year.
Neil Chernoff, BA Director of Network and Alliances said: “With 11 direct flights, across two London gateways, we’re pleased to offer our Ghanaian customers a greater choice.”
“Overall, we’re doubling the number of seats between Accra and London.”
Daily flights from London Heathrow to Accra are served by the airline’s A350 fleet.
The new route also adds cargo capacity between the two capitals.
To celebrate the increase in Accra flights, BA is bringing Afrobeats to travellers with an exclusive playlist available onboard from November 1 curated by DJ Cuppy.
