Ghana Airways has been established as an airline since July 1958. Our record has shown a determination and resilience to grapple with problems and challenges.

Having commenced our Accra-London-Accra service with a leased aircraft on 15th July, 1958, Ghana Airways was not slow to build up its own fleet of Aircraft and within three years, it had acquired as many as 20 aircraft.

Ghana Airways has operated leases to Barbados for Caribbean Airways, Uganda for Ugandan Airways. Ghana Airways has also carried out a number of annual Hajj pilgrimage flights for Moslems travelling to Mecca, and handled the transfer of Ghanaian students to and from Cuba and the transportation of Ghanaian soldiers on UN peace operations.

Our flights to major capitals include 4 weekly to London, South Africa and New York, all of which are direct flights. Ghana Airways is one of only four African Airlines with the United States FAA Category One accreditation, allowing Ghana Airways to fly direct to the US using its own aircraft and crew. Since December 1999, our regional operations have had a boom, with the resumption of suspended services to Monrovia and Freetown and the inauguration of services to Ouagadougou and Bamako. Recently, Ghana Airways helped in conveying hundreds of passengers, mostly Americans of African descent to the PANAFEST and Emancipation Festival, both in Ghana.

For the promotion of responsible tourism to Africa, we received the AFRICAN TRAVEL ASSOCIATION AWARD for 1997, and were designated the official carrier for the African/African American summit held Accra in 1999.

Together with its alliance partners and through special agreements, Ghana Airways connects passengers to over 100 destinations. The airline in the past months focused intensely on reliability and punctuality, implementing measures to achieve and maintain high standards in both areas. It will expand its route network further to countries such as Canada, Dubai, Lebanon, Ethiopia and Angola.

We shall remain committed to becoming the dominant link between Africa and the rest of the world.
