United Nigeria Airlines Launches First International Flights To Ghana

United Nigeria Airlines has announced it will launch direct flights to Accra, Ghana, from Nov. 10.

The new route will connect Lagos and Abuja, Nigeria, to Accra's Kotoka International Airport.

“Ghana is an important part of our regional growth plan,” says United Nigeria COO Mazi Osita Okonkwo. “This marks our first operation outside Nigeria, and we are truly excited about it.

“Over the past four years, United Nigeria Airlines has built a strong reputation for safety, regulatory compliance, exceptional customer service and on-time performance, values we are committed to extending across all regional and international routes.”

Privately owned United Nigeria Airlines, based at Enugu Airport, operates four Embraer ERJ 145s, primarily on domestic routes.

In September, the carrier announced it will acquire up to 10 Boeing 737-800s formerly operated by U.S. LCC Southwest Airlines.
