Delta Air Lines marked 20 years of continuous operations in Ghana with a commemorative anniversary dinner in Accra, bringing together government officials, aviation stakeholders, diplomatic representatives, travel industry leaders, corporate partners, media, staff, and long-standing customers to celebrate the airline’s journey in Ghana since launching operations in 2006. The evening also saw the participation of the AmCham Ghana Delegation, led by CEO Doris Kafui Afanyedey, underscoring the strong business and trade ties between Ghana and the United States

Speaking as the Guest of Honour on behalf of the President of the Republic of Ghana, Chief of Staff Hon. Julius Debrah highlighted Delta Air Lines’ role in strengthening Ghana–U.S. relations and connecting people, families, and opportunities over the past two decades.

“When Delta launched its nonstop service between Ghana and the United States 20 years ago, it was more than a commercial decision; it was a bold statement of confidence in Ghana and in the future of this partnership,” he said.

“Over the years, Delta has become a trusted link for families, businesses, students, and professionals, and has played a meaningful role in strengthening the connection between our two countries.”

Since launching operations in Ghana, Delta has transported nearly two million passengers between Ghana and the United States while connecting travelers from Accra to more than 215 destinations worldwide through its global network.

Emphasizing the importance of Delta’s longstanding presence and partnerships in Ghana, Rob LeBel, Managing Director – International and Specialty Sales, Delta Air Lines, said the anniversary represents far more than a milestone in aviation operations.

“Today, we celebrate 20 years of partnership, connectivity, operational consistency, and the strong relationships Delta has built with the people and institutions of Ghana. Our presence in Ghana has been defined by long-term network commitment and Ghana remains an incredibly important market within Delta’s Africa network. We are dedicated to supporting Africa’s growth and global connectivity for many years to come.”

As part of the celebration, Delta officially unveiled its 20th Anniversary logo and held a ceremonial cake-cutting to commemorate two decades of uninterrupted service between Ghana and the United States.

The evening also recognized the loyalty and support of Delta’s long-standing customers and partners through a raffle draw, where selected guests received special appreciation prizes.

The anniversary dinner further highlighted Delta’s investments in Ghana beyond aviation, including community engagement initiatives focused on health, youth empowerment, education, and leadership development.

“Delta’s dedication to Ghana extends beyond flights and destinations,” said Michael Thomas, General Manager, Global Communications, Delta Air Lines.

“It has been about connecting people, strengthening relationships, and building meaningful partnerships that positively impact lives. We are proud of this journey and deeply grateful for the support and trust we have received from Ghana over the years.”

“Ghana continues to play a strategic role within Delta’s West Africa network, and we remain focused on enhancing connectivity, customer experience, and long-term growth opportunities across the market,” said Mary Gbobaniyi, Manager, Sales – West Africa, Delta Air Lines.

The anniversary dinner formed part of activities commemorating Delta’s 20-year milestone in Ghana and reinforced the airline’s commitment to strengthening connectivity, enhancing customer experience, and expanding strategic partnerships across the Ghanaian market and the African continent.
