Air France, this week, celebrated five years of flying to Accra. Within these five years, the airline has become a major player in region, backed by a strong global network, connecting Africa to the rest of the world together with its strategic partners.
This milestone demonstrates the market’s strong confidence in the brand and the strengthened partnerships between Ghana and France governments. Air France celebrated this milestone with customers aboard AF 914, to thank them for their support.
“At Air France, our customers are at the heart of our service. They have remained loyal to our brand, even though turbulent times brought about by the pandemic. Through their continued support, they have given us a reason to operate daily direct flights from Accra to Paris. For this reason, we continue to invest in our products and services, to ensure that our customers can travel safely and comfortably, for us to keep flying to Ghana for many more years,” said Mees van Ojik, Air France – KLM Country Manager, Ghana.
Air France now operates daily direct flights from Accra to Charles de Gaulle and it endeavoured to maintain its network as much as possible. Together with her sister company KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, they now offer up to 14 weekly flights out of Accra making it the oldest and biggest operator out of Ghana.
With the lifting of travel restrictions across the world and the resumption of traffic to numerous destinations, the airline is serving up to 182 destinations, and more importantly, Air France will continue to contribute to Ghana’s economy through sustainability efforts.
