This weekend, Emirates flight EK789 landed at Accra International Airport for the first time, marking the next phase of growth for the airline in Ghana. Reflecting the country’s growing demand for travel and global connectivity, Emirates now operates 11 weekly services between Dubai and Accra, offering customers more choice and greater convenience, whether travelling for business, leisure or visiting friends and family.
Operating every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, the additional service complements Emirates’ existing daily flight, introducing an early morning arrival time to optimize international connections from key inbound markets such as India, the US, the UK and Germany. The outbound flight is scheduled for convenient onward travel to key business and tourist hubs in Asia, Australia, the US and Saudi Arabia, 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.”
Since commencing operations to Ghana in 2004, Emirates has played an important role in connecting the country with global markets through its Dubai hub. Over the years, the airline has supported tourism, facilitated business travel and strengthened trade links between Ghana and destinations across its international network.
