Night flights - Commencement of night flights between Accra and Kumasi
Passengers arriving at the Kotoka International Airport from abroad, usually late in the evening, can now connect a flight to Kumasi to be with their families the same day. Business travellers can now fly into Accra from Kumasi, spend the whole day transacting their business, and fly back to Kumasi as late as 10 pm. Indigenous operator Africa World Airline commenced night flights between Accra and Kumasi, January 2015, and has since been recording an appreciable load factor. The airline has been recording a load of about 44 passengers in its Embraer ERJ 145LR aircraft that can seat up to 50 passengers. Kevin Markette, Country Manager for Lufthansa said "when we talk about domestic transfers, up until very recently we have not had any domestic flights operating at flight times that connect with us. This has changed and we are quite excited. "With regard to transfers from international flights onto our flights, the transfer facility at Kotoka is not yet very streamlined; it is a bit of challenge but it's possible. One of the major challenges is that there is not yet a baggage transfer facility for these flights. This requires a passenger to physically enter Accra with a transit visa, get through immigration, collect his baggage and re-check in. - Read More At Our News Pages |
