Air France will begin three weekly flights to Accra-Ghana, from Paris-Charles de Gaulle, starting 28th February, 2017.
Mr. Jean–Raul Tauzin, the Country Manager of KLM for Ghana and Nigeria, said this during a press briefing in Accra on Thursday.
He said Air France was expanding on one of the most important markets on the African continent for traffic to and from Europe and North America.
“These flights would be operated by Airbus A330, with a capacity of 208 seats, until March 27th, 2017, then by Boeing 777-200 with 312 seats and equipped with the latest new Air France travel cabins for the entire summer season,” he said.
Mr Tauzin added that the three-weekly flights would strengthen Air France’s presence in Africa, as well as the Air France-KLM Group’s presence, as KLM already flew daily from Amsterdam to Accra.
He said with this new service, “we would provide Air France customers with even more connecting opportunities at Paris-Charles de Gaulle, both to and from Europe and North America”.
