Emirates has announced it is strengthening its operations in Ghana by adding 4 weekly flights between Dubai and Accra from 12 July 2026, raising its flights to the Ghanaian market to 11 a week.
The new flights come alongside the airline's existing daily service between Dubai and Accra, in response to growing demand for travel to and from the Ghanaian capital, which sees high load factors throughout the year, according to a post on the Emirates website.
From 12 July, flight EK789 will depart Dubai at 03:30 and arrive in Accra at 07:40, while return flight EK790 will depart Accra at 10:25 and arrive in Dubai at 22:40, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, local time in Dubai and Accra.
Emirates operates the new flights with Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, raising its total flights to Ghana to 11 a week, all with the same aircraft type. The new schedule offers connections via Dubai for travelers from Accra to a number of economic and tourist hubs, including Beijing, Seoul, Sydney, Perth, Mumbai, Singapore, New York and Jeddah.
The additional flights also offer travel options for passengers coming to Accra via Dubai from major cities such as Delhi, Boston and Los Angeles, as well as destinations in Germany and the United Kingdom.
Bookings are available through the Emirates website emirates.com, the Emirates app, the airline's sales offices, approved travel agents and online travel agents.
Salem Al Manaa, Emirates' Manager in Ghana, said the airline has been connecting Ghana with the world for more than two decades, adding that the additional flights reflect Emirates' confidence in the Ghanaian market and its support for growing travel needs.
He noted that the increase in flights will give travelers wider options and support trade, tourism and investment ties between Ghana and key markets in Emirates' network, as well as strengthening connectivity via Dubai to more than 140 destinations worldwide.
The Boeing 777-300ER aircraft on the Accra route offer 8 First Class suites, 42 fully lie-flat seats in Business Class and 304 seats in Economy Class. In addition to passenger services, the extra flights increase air cargo capacity to, from and via Accra through Emirates SkyCargo.
Emirates SkyCargo carries fresh fruit from Ghana to key European destinations such as Prague and Zurich, as well as shipments of electronics, textiles and pharmaceuticals.
Emirates has served the Ghanaian market for more than 20 years, connecting Accra with its global network via Dubai. In 2025, the airline opened a dedicated travel store in Accra, its first in West Africa, to provide direct travel services to customers in the local market.
Emirates also continues to implement a number of initiatives in Ghana, including its travel rehearsal program, which aims to make travel easier for passengers with diverse needs.
