Delta Air Lines says it is preparing to meet rising travel demand ahead of the FIFA World Cup. The airline is offering flexible options for fans travelling from Ghana to the United States and other parts of North America.
The announcement was made at a media soirée in Accra. The event marked 20 years of Delta’s operations in Ghana since it began flights in 2006.
Managing Director for International and Specialty Sales at Delta Air Lines, Rob LeBel, said the airline is working closely with travel agencies in Ghana to support ticket sales ahead of the tournament.
He said Delta is offering several travel choices. These include individual tickets, group bookings for 10 or more passengers, and charter options for large groups.
He also noted that Delta’s partnership with KLM will give passengers more routing options through Europe.
Mr. LeBel said the airline remains committed to Ghana despite global challenges over the past two decades. He described the 20-year presence as a key milestone for the company.
He also said Delta has built strong partnerships with government and aviation authorities in Ghana, which he credited for the airline’s long-term success.
Looking ahead, he said the airline sees growth opportunities in Ghana’s business and aviation sector. He noted that demand is not only driven by the diaspora but also by students and small business owners.
He added that Delta wants to support Ghanaian entrepreneurs as they expand into international markets.
As part of the anniversary activities, Delta also carried out community projects in Accra. These included a courtesy visit to the Ga Traditional Council and the commissioning of a borehole in Jamestown.
Marketing and Sales Manager for Delta in Ghana, Eloina Badoo, said the airline also runs programmes focused on youth empowerment and women’s development.
She highlighted initiatives such as mentorship events and leadership camps aimed at building skills in innovation, technology, and aviation.
Ms. Badoo encouraged young people, especially girls, to pursue careers in aviation and aim high in their ambitions.
