BA will operate the route three times a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, with a fourth weekly service due to be added from April 2024. The new Accra service from Gatwick is in addition to a daily Airbus A350 service from Heathrow. 


Neil Chernoff, British Airways’ director of network and alliances, confirmed BA would offer 55% more capacity between Accra and London next summer compared with 2019.


“With 11 direct flights, across two London gateways, we’re pleased to offer our Ghanaian customers a greater choice of products and prices,” said Chernoff.
