DUBAI- Emirates (EK) will add four weekly flights between Dubai (DXB) and Accra (ACC) from 12 July 2026, lifting its total service to Ghana to 11 weekly flights. The expansion strengthens connectivity between the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and West Africa.
The new flights will complement the airline’s existing daily operation to Accra (ACC), which records high seat occupancy throughout the year. Emirates (EK) will deploy the Boeing 777-300ER on the route, linking Ghana to global hubs such as Mumbai (BOM), Singapore (SIN), and New York (JFK) via Dubai (DXB).
Emirates Adds More Flights to Ghana
Emirates will operate the additional service as flights EK789 and EK790 on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Here’s the flight schedule:
- Flight EK789 departs Dubai at 03:30 hrs and arrives in Accra at 07:40 hrs.
- The return flight, EK790, departs Accra at 10:25 hrs and arrives in Dubai at 22:40 hrs. All times are local.
The schedule connects travellers from Accra to key commercial and tourist hubs, including Beijing (PEK), Seoul (ICN), Sydney (SYD), Perth (PER), Mumbai (BOM), Singapore (SIN), New York (JFK), and Jeddah (JED).
The timing also gives passengers a convenient option to reach Accra via Dubai from points such as Delhi (DEL), Boston (BOS), Los Angeles (LAX), and gateways across Germany and the United Kingdom.
Passengers can book tickets through emirates.com, the Emirates App, Emirates retail offices, and travel agents both online and offline.
Cabin Products on the Boeing 777-300ER
Emirates will serve the route with its widebody Boeing 777-300ER. Each aircraft offers 8 private suites in First Class, 42 lie-flat seats in Business Class, and 304 seats in Economy Class.
Travellers across all cabins will access the airline’s onboard products, including regionally inspired meals and complimentary beverages.
The ice inflight entertainment system delivers up to 6,500 channels in more than 40 languages, covering international films, television shows, music, podcasts, and audiobooks. The library also features Ghanaian content such as Kotoka, Part Time Woman, and Ghana Map.
Executive Remarks
Salem Almana, Emirates’ Country Manager for Ghana, said the carrier has connected Ghana to the world for more than two decades.
He stated that the additional service reflects the airline’s confidence in the Ghanaian market and its commitment to the country’s growing travel needs.
Almana added that the expansion will strengthen business, tourism, and trade links between Ghana and key markets across the global network.
He noted that travellers will gain seamless access to close to 140 destinations worldwide through Dubai, while visitors will have greater opportunities to experience Ghana.
Cargo Growth Through Emirates SkyCargo
The additional flights will support cargo movements from Accra to and through Dubai via Emirates SkyCargo.
The freight division uses its cool chain infrastructure to carry high volumes of fresh-cut fruit from Ghana into European destinations such as Prague and Zurich.
Emirates SkyCargo also transports electronics, textiles, and pharmaceuticals on the route. The added bellyhold capacity in both directions will support the local economy and connect Ghanaian businesses with their global customers reliably and efficiently.
