Delta Air Lines has upgraded its service to Ghana by introducing the Airbus A330-900neo for daily flights from New York’s JFK Airport to Accra’s Kotoka International Airport, starting October 1. This change replaces the older Boeing 767s and shows the growing importance of Ghana in the airline’s network.

The new A330-900 boosts Delta Air Lines’ presence in the region while increasing overall capacity. With this aircraft replacing the older 767-300ER models, the airline now offers nearly 1,000 additional weekly seats. This change results in a 30% increase in capacity between the two cities.

The Airbus A330-900 has 281 seats, which is significantly more than the Boeing 767’s under-230 capacity. Passengers can enjoy various travel options across Delta Air Lines’ four cabin classes: Delta One Suites, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort+, and Main Cabin. This upgrade solidifies Delta’s position as the largest operator in the US-Ghana air travel market.

In April, Delta Air Lines announced similar upgrades for its ten weekly flights connecting Atlanta to Johannesburg and Cape Town. The airline plans to introduce the A350-900 on these routes, which enhances Delta One Suite capacity and overall passenger experience. These enhancements reflect Delta’s commitment to meeting customers’ evolving demands, especially regarding premium service and hospitality.

Delta Air Lines has built a strong presence in Africa, standing out among American competitors. While American Airlines does not operate flights to the continent, United Airlines offers limited services to Morocco and South Africa. In contrast, Delta Air Lines operates over 34 weekly flights to various African destinations, serving more than 500,000 customers annually. As the second-largest player in the US-Africa market, Delta is focused on growth in this area, emphasizing its commitment to connecting more international destinations.

As Delta Air Lines expands its operations in Africa, it strengthens its leadership in the US-Africa aviation sector. This strategic move highlights the airline’s dedication to providing exceptional travel experiences while meeting the growing demand for air travel between the United States and Africa.
