United Airlines has deepened its strategic footprint in Ghana through a measurable capacity enhancement. Effective with the 2024–2025 winter schedule, the carrier upscaled its Accra–Washington Dulles service from three weekly rotations to a daily frequency, marking a 67 percent year-on-year uplift in seat capacity and reaffirming its commitment to the trans-Atlantic corridor. The route is operated by the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, featuring a 243-seat, four-cabin configuration, comprising 28 Polaris Business, 21 Premium Plus, 36 Economy Plus, and 158 Standard Economy seats, positioning United to deliver enhanced connectivity, premium service segmentation, and operational efficiency within the West African aviation market
