Ghana and Togo have officially signed a new Air Services Agreement, a move aimed at boosting air connectivity and attracting more airlines between the two countries.

Deputy Minister for Transport, Dorcas Affo-Toffey, announced the development in a statement on her X page on November 22, 2025. She explained that the agreement is designed to make travel easier within Africa and beyond, supporting stronger regional integration and cooperation in aviation.

According to the Deputy Minister, the deal was finalised during the ICAO Air Services Negotiations (ICAN) meeting, which took place from November 10–14, 2025, in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.

“Ghana and Togo have officially signed a new Air Services Agreement aimed at attracting more airlines and enhancing air connectivity between our two nations, supporting seamless travel within Africa and beyond.

“This important milestone was concluded in Punta Cana during the ICAO Air Services Negotiations. Proud to be part of the continued efforts to advance aviation cooperation and regional integration,” she said.

In March 2025, Canada and Ghana also signed their first-ever air transport agreement, marking a step in strengthening bilateral ties and improving connectivity, tourism, and trade.

Announced by Canada’s Minister of Transport and Internal Trade, the Honourable Anita Anand, the agreement allows airlines from both countries to operate scheduled passenger and cargo flights.

Airlines can operate up to 14 weekly passenger flights and 10 weekly all-cargo flights between Canada and Ghana.

The deal also introduces flexibility in airline designation, allowing multiple carriers to serve any points in both countries.
