Delta Air Lines will fly state-of-the-art Airbus A330-900neo nonstop service from Accra to New York-JFK effective 27 October 2024.
The new aircraft will add approximately 30% more capacity between Ghana and the United States.
Deputy director general of the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority, Daniel Acquah, hailed the move as one of the greatest news for Ghana this year.
Speaking to journalists at a media roundtable in Accra, Matteo Curcio, Delta’s Senior Vice
President for Europe, Middle East, Africa, and India, said, “Delta has worked to deliver an
enhanced travel experience in Ghana. We look forward to welcoming customers onboard our
A330-900neo aircraft come October, offering exciting new products and services as they travel to and from the United States.”
Matteo used the opportunity to express his gratitude to Delta’s customers, the Ghana Civil
Aviation Authority, and the government of Ghana for their continued partnership.
The brand-new A330-900neo aircraft will add nearly 1,000 more seats each week between Ghana and the U.S. It offers four distinctive experiences – Delta One Suites, Delta Premium
Select, Delta Comfort+ and Main Cabin – and more cargo capacity to cater for growing demand.
Delta has operated nonstop service from Accra to New York-JFK since December 2006, transporting more than 1,350,000 customers between Ghana and the United States.
In 2023, the airline transported almost 150,000 customers between Ghana and the United States.
