Jan 07, 2019: To meet the increasing demand, South African Airways (SAA) has expanded its non-stop service between Ghana and the US. The increased service will start on April 1, 2019.

In a statement released recently, the national carrier has announced that it will increase its frequency on non-stop flights between the Ghanaian capital Accra's Kotoka International Airport and Washington D.C's Dulles International Airport to five days a week.

"SAA continues to see growing demand for our non-stop Accra service and this increase in our frequency will give our business and leisure customers more options.

"Our service between Accra and Washington-Dulles has been a resounding success from its inception in 2015 and we are very pleased to further develop the route with the introduction of a fifth weekly flight," said Todd Neuman, SAA's regional general manager for North America.

SAA offers the only non-stop flight between Ghana and Washington D.C. and offers travellers convenient connections to and from over 100 cities across the US and Canada through its Star Alliance partner, United Airlines via Washington, D.C.-Dulles.
