United Airlines today announced plans to expand its global route network with a new, nonstop service between Ghana and the United States. Starting in late Spring 2021, United will become the only U.S. carrier serving Accra nonstop from Washington, D.C., with three weekly flights.
The new service marks United’s return to Ghana which the airline previously served up until 2012."We are excited to announce our return to Ghana. This new nonstop service will strengthen our international route network and provide our customers from Ghana with direct access to the United States and the possibility to connect via our Washington Dulles hub to destinations across the Americas,” said Marcel Fuchs, United’s Managing Director International Sales. “Connecting Accra to the U.S. will open up new opportunities for both business and leisure travellers and help our customers in Ghana reconnect with friends and family around the world."
