Emirates Flight EK789 Touches Down in Accra for the First Time

This weekend, Emirates new flight EK789, operated by a Boeing 777-300ER, landed at Accra International Airport for the first time, marking the next phase of growth for the airline in Ghana.

Reflecting the country’s growing demand for travel and global connectivity, Emirates now operates 11 weekly services between Dubai and Accra, offering customers more choice and greater convenience, whether travelling for business, leisure or visiting friends and family.

Operating every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, the additional service complements Emirates' existing daily flight, introducing an early morning arrival time to optimize international connections from key inbound markets such as India, the US, the UK and Germany.

The outbound flight is scheduled for convenient onward travel to key business and tourist hubs in Asia, Australia, the US and Saudi Arabia, via Dubai.

Since commencing operations to Ghana in 2004, Emirates has played an important role in connecting the country with global markets through its Dubai hub. Over the years, the airline has supported tourism, facilitated business travel and strengthened trade links between Ghana and destinations across its international network.

The additional flights are operated by Emirates' Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, featuring eight private suites in First Class, 42 lie-flat seats in Business Class and 304 spacious seats in Economy Class.

Customers travelling from Ghana will continue to enjoy Emirates' award-winning products and services, including regionally inspired cuisine and the airline's award-winning ice inflight entertainment system, offering more than 6,500 channels of on-demand entertainment in over 40 languages, including Ghanaian content.

Tickets can be booked now on emirates.com, the Emirates App, through travel agents, or at Emirates retail stores, including Emirates Travel Store in Accra.
