OST-00-7169

 

Ghana Airways Limited

OST-00-7169 March 31, 2000 Application for Exemption Washington, D.C.- Accra, Ghana
    Service List  

Ghana Airways hereby applies for an exemption to provide scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail between Accra, Ghana and Washington, D.C. Service would be provided twice weekly and would be operated on a coterminal basis with Ghanair's current flights to New York. Ghana Airways will use Baltimore/Washington International Airport for its Rights to the Washington, D.C. area. The proposed flights will be operated with Ghanair's DC 10 aircraft, configured for 272 seats (34 business and 238 economy). Ghana Airways would not carry any local traffic between New York and Washington, D.C.  The proposed flights would provide the first and only direct service between Washington, D.C. and West Africa. Currently passengers in the Washington, D.C. area who want to fly to West Africa are given the unenviable choice of changing planes in New York or enduring long and circuitous routings over intermediate points in Europe. Ghanair's proposed same-plane service would allow passengers to leave Washington and arrive in Accra without the hassle of inconvenient connections several terminals apart at New York's JFK airport or camping out in a European airport in order to make a morning connection to Accra.
