On November 28, 2024, Ghana Airports Limited announced that effective December 3, 2024, passengers from London will have access to direct flights from London Gatwick Airport to Kumasi Prempeh I International Airport.<\/p>\n
However, some Ghanaians have indicated that their checks revealed that the flights scheduled and announced are not exactly as direct as published.<\/p>\n
According to them, attempting to book a flight from London Gatwick Airport to Kumasi Airport showed that one had to make multiple stops through Addis Ababa and Accra before boarding another flight to Kumasi.<\/p>\n
This has generated various takes from users on X.<\/p>\n
A journalist, Olele Salvador, shared on his X handle: “Is that the reason why they\u2019re encouraging people to call the hotline to book the tickets instead? Why is there only one agent responsible for this & not the EA website? Are they looking to charter direct flights with the bookings they receive? I rest my case here.” <\/p>\n
Another user wrote: “If you are into airline business you know that Ethiopian Airlines don\u2019t fly direct unless you are going to Addis Ababa.”<\/p>\n
