Delta Airlines Resumes Non-Stop Accra–Atlanta Flights to Boost Ghana–US Connectivity
Travellers between Ghana and the United States now have an additional direct travel option, as Delta Air Lines has reintroduced its non-stop service on the Accra–Atlanta route. The route resumed operations on Monday, December 1, 2025.
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, who announced the development in a Facebook post on Tuesday, December 2, described the return of the service as a significant boost to travel efficiency and passenger convenience.
“I am excited about the reintroduction of Delta Air Lines’ non-stop flight from Accra to Atlanta, which commenced operations yesterday,” the Minister said, noting that the development aligns with ongoing efforts to improve Ghana’s international connectivity.
Mr Ablakwa further disclosed that government has also welcomed a new aviation milestone with Air Transat of Canada preparing to launch a non-stop Accra–Canada service. The route is scheduled to begin operations on June 17, 2026.
According to him, both developments are expected to “accelerate our economic diplomacy objectives, boost trade and tourism, and offer value and convenience mainly to Ghanaian travellers.”
Aviation observers note that the restored Delta service and the upcoming Air Transat operations will enhance bilateral linkages, support business travel, and strengthen tourism flows between Ghana, the United States and Canada.
