Delta expands service to Ghana with new Accra-Atlanta Route

Delta Air Lines has announced the launch of a seasonal daily nonstop service between Accra and Atlanta, beginning December 1, 2025.

The expansion is driven by the strong appreciation for Delta’s state-of-the-art Airbus A330-900neo and the robust travel demand between the US and Ghana, especially during the peak of the December-January holiday season when many Ghanaians reunite with family and friends.

Belief in Ghanaian market

“The move underscores its strong focus on and belief in the Ghanaian market. Delta has proudly served Ghana since 2006, flying over 7.5 million customers across its African routes. 

“With this new service, Delta will now operate two direct routes to Accra, the year-round daily flights from New York-JFK and the newly introduced seasonal flights from Atlanta.

"We know how important it is for families and friends to stay connected and this additional flight ensures that more Ghanaians can easily reach their loved ones while enjoying world-class service,” Matteo Curcio, Senior Vice President of Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India at Delta said. 

He said the new Atlanta-Accra service reflected “our continued dedication to offering Ghanaian travellers more choices, convenience and premium experiences.”   

Facilities

The Accra-Atlanta route will be operated by Delta’s state-of-the-art Airbus A330-900neo, an aircraft that has already been well-received by Ghanaian travellers. 

Featuring Delta One Suites, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort+ and Main Cabin seating, the A330-900neo offers next-generation comfort, modern in-flight entertainment and an enhanced onboard experience. 

Dr Curcio explained that the positive feedback from customers on Delta’s New York-Accra flights led to the decision to bring the aircraft to the Atlanta route, thus, further improving travel options for Ghanaians.

Connecting Ghana to the world

Delta’s Atlanta hub is the world’s largest airport, providing seamless connections to over 215 destinations worldwide. 

The introduction of the new route would offer travellers from Ghana more flexibility and access to major US cities, including Washington, D.C., Chicago, Los Angeles and Houston, making business and leisure travel easier than ever.

A statement issued by the airline said additionally, Delta was expanding its African footprint with the launch of its first-ever nonstop flight from Atlanta to Marrakech, Morocco, beginning October 25, 2025. 

Investing in enhanced travel experience

The statement said Delta continued to invest in the customer experience at its Atlanta hub to ensure smooth and efficient travel, including:

• A new 24,000-square-foot Delta Sky Club on Concourse D, opening this spring, offering panoramic views and premium amenities.

• Upgraded Sky Clubs on Concourses A and C to enhance guest comfort.

• Expansion of Concourse D to improve passenger flow and increase gate capacity.

• Delta Digital ID, enabling eligible travellers to move through security and baggage drop seamlessly without needing a physical ID or boarding pass.

• Free Wi-Fi expansion to international routes in West Africa (Lagos, Dakar and Accra) is well underway in the coming weeks 

The statement said with those enhancements and new flight options, Delta was reaffirming its position as the leading carrier between Ghana and the US, providing unmatched service, comfort and connectivity.
