Accra-Kumasi Flights in 2026: PassionAir Offers Cheaper Tickets as AWA Records Higher Fares

Travelling between Accra and Kumasi by air has become an increasingly convenient option for Ghanaians seeking to avoid the long road journey between the two major cities. However, passengers planning to fly in November 2026 may need to compare ticket prices carefully, as fares differ between the two major domestic airlines.

Africa World Airlines (AWA) and PassionAir are the main airlines operating direct passenger flights between Kotoka International Airport in Accra and Prempeh I International Airport in Kumasi.

A comparison of advertised one-way economy fares for Tuesday, November 17, 2026, shows that PassionAir offers relatively cheaper tickets than Africa World Airlines on the selected travel date.

According to the figures published on Trip.com, PassionAir’s ticket costs approximately GH₵1,282 for both Accra-to-Kumasi and Kumasi-to-Accra journeys.

Meanwhile, Africa World Airlines recorded higher fares, with passengers expected to pay approximately GH₵1,541 for flights from Accra to Kumasi and GH₵1,411 for the return journey.

The prices are approximate cedi equivalents of advertised US dollar fares, converted using an exchange rate of GH₵11.7613 to US$1 on November 11, 2026. They are not fixed airline charges.

Interestingly, Africa World Airlines advertises some Kumasi tickets starting from GH₵999 on its official website, suggesting that passengers may find cheaper deals depending on their travel dates and booking periods.

The flight between the two cities generally takes about 40 minutes, making air travel a faster alternative to road transportation.

Passengers are also advised to consider baggage allowances when booking. AWA provides a standard 23kg checked baggage allowance, while PassionAir generally offers 25kg on eligible fares.

Additionally, travellers should remember the GH₵100 domestic Airport Infrastructure Development Charge introduced on April 1, 2026.

Passengers are encouraged to book early, compare available fares and confirm final ticket prices directly with their preferred airlines before making payments.
