August 13, 2019: South African Airways (SAA) has strengthened its presence in Ghana by flying daily between Accra and Washington DC.

The services to Washington DC will commence from Johannesburg with a short stopover in Accra.

These two additional weekly services to Washington include connections to/from Abuja and Lagos in Nigeria; to/from Monrovia in Liberia; and to/from Freetown in Sierra Leone.

“One of the key pillars of our strategy is to connect South Africa to West Africa and beyond North America. Our partnership with Africa World Airlines (AWA) continues to deepen with these new schedules and benefits customers across the African continent,” said Zuks Ramasia, SAA, acting CEO.

In February this year, SAA has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Africa World Airlines to enhance connectivity for its customers travelling to, from and beyond the West Africa region.
