Air Transat has announced an exciting new addition to its summer flight schedule, introducing a direct route from Toronto (YYZ) to Accra (ACC), Ghana. This non-stop service will launch on June 17, 2026, and will operate every Wednesday and Sunday until October 22, 2026.
Expansion of African Routes
This latest offering marks Accra as Air Transat’s fourth destination in Africa, joining existing services to Dakar, Agadir, and the popular year-round route to Marrakech. The expansion underscores the airline’s commitment to enhancing connectivity on the African continent.
Direct Connection to Ghana
Sebastian Ponce, Chief Revenue Officer at Air Transat, expressed pride in being the first airline to provide a direct link between Canada and Ghana. "This non-stop service between Toronto and Accra aligns with our growth strategy on the African continent and directly addresses the needs of the Ghanaian diaspora in Ontario, as well as the growing interest in travel to Ghana," Ponce stated.
Ghana has become an increasingly popular travel destination, known for its rich culture, history, and hospitality. This new route will significantly simplify travel for those looking to connect with family, explore Ghana, or engage in business.
A Streamlined Travel Experience
One of the major advantages of this route is the elimination of lengthy European layovers that travelers previously faced. Passengers can now enjoy a more efficient journey, making travel to Ghana more accessible than ever. This move is expected to attract not only those with familial ties to the region but also tourists eager to experience the vibrant culture and hospitality that Ghana has to offer.
