British Airways’ new London Gatwick to Accra flights proving a winner for UK travellers
British Airways is now operating three times a week from the Ghanaian capital to London Gatwick, giving travellers more choice of flight times and airports.
Flights depart Accra at 21.20 on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, landing into Gatwick at 04.00.
A fourth weekly service will be added to the route timetable from April 2024.
“With 11 direct flights, across two London gateways, we’re pleased to offer our Ghanaian customers a greater choice of products and prices,” said British Airways’ Director of Network and Alliances, Neil Chernoff.
“Overall, we’re doubling the number of seats between Accra and London, with 55% more capacity next summer versus 2019.
“We are always looking at routes and regions where there is potential for growth and Accra is one of those routes and Africa is one of those regions.”
Daily flights from London Heathrow to Accra are served by the airline’s A350 fleet, British Airways’ newest and more-fuel efficient aircraft type, featuring the latest generation business class seat, Club Suite.
