United Nigeria Airlines has officially announced the launch of direct flights to Accra, Ghana, beginning November 10, 2025, marking its first international route and a major step in its regional expansion.
In a statement released Tuesday, the airline confirmed that the new service will operate from both Lagos and Abuja to Kotoka International Airport in Accra, expanding travel options for both business and leisure passengers.
Speaking in Lagos, Mazi Osita Okonkwo, Chief Operating Officer of United Nigeria Airlines, described the move as a landmark moment in the airline’s growth:
“Ghana is an important part of our regional growth plan. This marks our first operation outside Nigeria, and we are truly excited about it”, said Okonkwo. “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”.
He added: “With United Nigeria Airlines now operating on the Accra route, we are expanding travel options for the flying public, including business and leisure travelers, while proudly flying the Nigerian flag and strengthening connectivity between Nigeria and Ghana.
“Our mission is to unite. Uniting people, cultures, and dreams while bridging the gap in connectivity through efficient flight operations”.
Tickets for the Lagos–Accra–Lagos and Abuja–Accra–Abuja routes are now available via the United Nigeria Airlines booking portal and authorised agents.
In addition to this regional milestone, the airline is also set to expand its domestic network in November with new routes including Abuja–Sokoto and Ilorin.
