In April, the AmCham Ghana team went behind the scenes at United Airlines for the latest edition of our Membership Spotlight series. Led by AmCham Ghana CEO Doris Kafui Afanyedey and hosted by Oluwatomi Bola-Sadipe, Regional Sales Manager for Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa at United Airlines, the delegation toured the airline’s ground operations, airside facilities, and aircraft at Accra International Airport.

On the Ground

The visit opened with a look at the coordination behind every departure, from check-in and boarding to ground crew logistics and aircraft preparation. Behind every smooth journey is a team working with precision and purpose, long before passengers reach their seats.

For travellers who want to stay in control from the moment they arrive, the United App is an essential companion, handling check-in, boarding passes, real-time bag tracking, and connection management all in one place.

In the Aircraft

The tour continued onboard, where the team experienced the cabin across seating classes. From the business class cabin to the comfort standards in economy, United’s commitment to a globally competitive passenger experience was evident, part of the airline’s mission to transform travel with a modernised fleet that combines comfort and technology.

Why It Matters

United Airlines is more than a route — it is a connector linking Ghanaian businesses, professionals, and families to the United States and a vast global network. With hubs in Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, New York/Newark, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C., United operates the most comprehensive network of any North American carrier, flying to up to 280 destinations across the Americas.

From Accra, United offers up to five weekly flights to Washington, D.C. — and this May, the airline celebrates five years of flying from Ghana.

As a valued AmCham Ghana member, United Airlines stands alongside a community of organisations invested in stronger Ghana–U.S. commercial ties. We thank Oluwatomi Bola and the entire United Airlines Ghana team for the warm welcome.
