Inaugural flight to Washington

    ABIDJAN
    The US Secretary of Transportation Rodney Slater has welcomed the inaugural Ghana Airways flight between Accra and the Baltimore-Washington D.C area, saying that it will strengthen American-African ties, the US Information Agency reported on Thursday. The airline will operate twice-weekly flights between the Ghanaian capital and the Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWIA) via the Gambian capital, Banjul. It follows a US-Ghana Open Skies aviation agreement reached on 16 March that will eliminate within six years all restrictions on air services between the two countries, USIA said.
