AIRLINES

They strut their stuff down the runway and off they go! They seem to be the only hope in getting you to your destination. Have you ever bothered to know what they do? And they do it, what makes you keep coming back to them for more or make different choices. Is it your craving for something new or just the fun of it?

What am I talking about? The airlines we use on a daily basis. Let’s take a walk down memory lane shall we? The first airline to be established in this land of ours was Ghana airways on the 4^th of July 1958, a good year after independence and actually commenced work on 15^th July 1958. This noble airline of ours went through many trials and triumphs and finally gave up the fight in 2005. This airline was a joy in its youth and flew the world and had stories of sun and rain with a few accidents

under its belt.

THE FLAG CARRIER OF JORDAN

The sad end of this great national carrier left a void which has been  filled by Ghana international airlines operating its first international service to London Gatwick at the end of October, since then it has had many a destination; Johannesburg and Lagos to name a few.

“Want to go to naija?” then Arik air it is, this great airline of Nigeria has made a name for its-self home and abroad and is a force to reckon with, with three flights per week from Accra to Lagos and beyond. This giant of Nigeria sponsors great names in the entertainment industry in Nigeria such as the"Teju baby face show".

 

  The influx of great airlines to our airport tells how on a daily basis our services are improving, in 2010, there was the introduction of Asky from Togo, United airlines from Washington, Virgin Atlantic which flew from Accra to London and back but ceased  flying from September this year citing fuel hikes as its reason for leaving the country. Don’t worry, you can still fly in style with flights from Monday to Thursday, London is just a wink away with British airways.  Turkish airlines is also an added flavor to our class, commencing business on 15^th July 2010 at 2:05pm straight from Istanbul  and arrived via Lagos Nigeria at 8:25pm bringing the number of connecting flights via Lagos to 2, Lufthansa airlines until recently

connected its passengers to both cities and their Frankfurt ,Germany destination.

 

Dreaming of drinking creamy coffee? Turkish airlines is connecting you to its beautiful city of Istanbul with four flights a week; Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, they operate as well to Senegal, Uganda, Kenya as well as central Africa region. Established in 1933, Turkish airline is the fastest growing carrier in the world.

THE ROYALJORDANIAN AIRLINE

This country is blessed isn’t it? Introducing Eagle Atlantic airlines, the first solely Ghanaian opened and private entity to fly international, it is however beginning commercial operations with flights from Ghana to four other West African countries. The magnificent dunes of the Middle East can be visited with the aid of emirates airline. On a lighter note, we do get you anywhere in the world even within our borders with Africa world airlines flying 7days a week from Accra-Kumasi-Tamale, Antrak running Accra-Kumasi-Sunyani. There’s also my personal favorite KLM

royal Dutch airlines, south African airways, royal air maroc and many more there’s a lot to choose from we’ll have your head spinning.
