In an exciting development for Ghana’s aviation industry, Ethiopian Airlines, in partnership with the Ghana Airports Company Ltd (GACL), is set to launch direct flights from London Gatwick to Kumasi Prempeh I International Airport. This new route, scheduled to start on December 3, 2024, will significantly boost connectivity between Ghana and the United Kingdom, fostering tourism and economic growth in the Ashanti Region.
The direct flights will run regularly, departing from London Gatwick Airport at 02:10 am and landing at Kumasi Prempeh I International Airport at 09:05 am. This route aims to cut travel time and provide greater convenience for passengers journeying between London and Kumasi.
Ethiopian Airlines, renowned as one of Africa’s largest and most successful airlines, has a longstanding presence in Ghana. The new London to Kumasi route is expected to increase competition in the Ghanaian aviation sector while offering passengers more choices and enhanced convenience.
The Ashanti Region, renowned for its major tourist attractions like the Kumasi Fort and the Manhyia Palace Museum, stands to gain immensely from this new route. This landmark initiative marks a new era of connectivity between the UK and Ghana’s Ashanti Region, unlocking opportunities for tourism and business alike.
