One of the world's fastest growing international airlines, Delta Airlines is opening its Accra office from Thursday to serve travelers between Accra’s International Airport and the New York's JFK Airport. Delta Airlines will be operating from the plush Silver Star Tower located at the Airport City and has scheduled its inaugural direct flight to the US from December 12. The Airline will run four weekly flights in and out of Accra with a broad range of services that connects its clients to Canada, South America and the Caribbean using a Boeing 767-300ER aircraft seating up 214 passengers. General Manager of Aviation Alliance, Delta's dedicated General Sales Agent for Ghana, Mr Norman Williams, told newsmen ahead of the outset of ticket sales in Accra that Accra was chosen because it had opportunity for growth and served the purposes of the huge number of Ghanaians resident in the East Coast of the United States of America. He said it was important since it met the growing relationship between Ghana and the US, "a situation which must have informed the choice of Accra as a destination". Mr Williams said Delta's flights will not only be the most convenient way to get to the US, but its it's fares will also be highly competitive for customers qualified to fly non-stop to New York and beyond to conduct business or visit friends and family. Passengers on the inaugural flight have a low fare of 694 dollars plus tax and surcharges, plus a baggage allowance of 46 kilos on economy and 69 kilos in business classes. Passengers can pay for extra kilos at 50 dollars per piece.
