Qatar Airways to launch Accra service from Sep 29

September 16, 2020: Qatar Airways will operate four weekly flights to Accra, Ghana via Lagos from September 29, becoming the fourth new destination launched by the airline since the start of the pandemic. The Accra service will be operated by B787 Dreamliner.

Qatar Airways group chief executive Akbar Al Baker said, “We are delighted to be launching flights to the capital of Ghana, one of the fastest growing economies in the region famed for its local hospitality and highly sought after agricultural exports. We first announced our intention to launch flights to Accra in January 2020 and while the pandemic has slightly delayed these plans, it has not stopped us from fulfilling our commitment to passengers in Ghana and around the world. With the strong Ghanaian diaspora especially in Europe, the UK and U.S. we are thankful to the Ghanaian government for their support in helping us to launch these flights. We look forward to working closely with our partners in Ghana to steadily grow this route and support the recovery of tourism and trade in the region.”

By mid-October, Qatar Airways will operate 46 weekly flights to 14 destinations in Africa, including Addis Ababa, Dar es Salaam, Djibouti, Entebbe, Kigali, Kilimanjaro, Lagos, Mogadishu, Nairobi, Seychelles, Tunis, Windhoek, and Zanzibar.
