Minister for Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Mr Samuel Okudzeto-Ablakwa, has hailed the return of Delta Air Lines’ non-stop flight between Accra and Atlanta, which resumed operations on December 1, 2025.

Describing the development as “exciting and impactful,” the Minister said the reinstated service offers Ghanaian travellers greater convenience while strengthening commercial and cultural links between Ghana and the United States.

The government has also applauded Air Transat of Canada for its upcoming historic non-stop flight between Ghana and Canada, scheduled to begin operations on June 17, 2026.

Mr. Ablakwa said both developments mark important milestones in Ghana’s aviation and foreign policy outlook.

“These refreshing advancements will accelerate our economic diplomacy objectives, boost trade and tourism, and offer real value and convenience—particularly to Ghanaian travellers,” he noted.

The Ministry believes the expanded flight options will further position Ghana as a key aviation hub in the sub-region while opening new pathways for investment, business, and stronger bilateral partnerships.
