Delta Air Lines resumes non-stop flights from Accra to Atlanta

AmCham Ghana joined its Platinum Member, Delta Air Lines, at the Kotoka International Airport for the official launch of the expanded seasonal Accra to Atlanta service.

The expanded service, which complements Delta’s year-round operation from New York JFK, enhances travel flexibility for business and leisure passengers and supports the rising flow of commerce, tourism, and cultural exchange. Remarks from U.S. Chargé d’Affaires Rolf Olson, GACL Managing Director Yvonne Nana Afriyie Opare, GCAA Director-General Rev. Stephen Wilfred Arthur, and GTA CEO Marilyn Maame Efua Houadjeto highlighted the diplomatic, operational, and economic significance of the new connection and reaffirmed the shared commitment to strengthening Ghana’s role as a regional aviation hub.

The flight, operated on the Airbus A330-900neo, delivers an improved onboard experience across all cabins, including Delta One Suites, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort, and Delta Main, with seatback entertainment and free Wi-Fi for SkyMiles Members.

The Chamber was represented by CEO Doris Kafui Afanyedey and members of the Secretariat, who participated alongside Delta’s leadership team, headed by Eliona Baddoo, General Manager, Ghana. The ribbon-cutting ceremony marked the start of the daily flight that will run for six weeks through January 16, introduced in response to strong travel demand between Ghana and the United States during the peak holiday season.

AmCham Ghana congratulates Delta Air Lines on this milestone. It remains committed to supporting initiatives that advance U.S.–Ghana commercial ties and expand opportunities for travelers and businesses on both sides.
