Emirates has announced the expansion of its operations in Ghana with the introduction of four additional weekly flights between Dubai and Accra starting July 12, 2026.
The move aims to meet growing passenger demand and further strengthen connectivity between West Africa and the UAE.
The new service will complement Emirates’ existing daily operation and the sustained growth in air travel demand to and from Accra, which continues to experience high seat occupancy year-round.
According to the statement, the new service is optimally timed to connect travelers from Accra to key commercial and tourist hubs, including Beijing, Seoul, Sydney, Perth, Mumbai, Singapore, New York JFK, and Jeddah.
Furthermore, the newly added service will also offer travelers a more convenient option to connect to Accra via Dubai, mainly from points such as Delhi, Boston, Los Angeles, and gateways across Germany and the UK.
Emirates reaffirms confidence in Ghana market
Salem Almana, Emirates’ Country Manager, Ghana, said that, “The introduction of this additional service demonstrates our continued confidence in the Ghanaian market and our commitment to supporting the country’s growing travel needs.”
“This expansion will strengthen business, tourism, and trade links between Ghana and key markets across our global network, while contributing to the continued growth of Ghana’s aviation sector. Through Dubai, travelers will enjoy seamless access to close to 140 destinations worldwide, while visitors from around the world will have even greater opportunities to experience Ghana,” Almana added.
As per the statement, with the introduction of flights EK789/EK790, Emirates will serve Ghana with 11 weekly flights operated by its widebody Boeing 777-300ER. Beyond passenger operations, the additional and dedicated flights will support cargo movements from Accra to and through Dubai, via Emirates SkyCargo.
