MONTREAL — Air Transat is set to make a major milestone in its network next summer as it launches non-stop service from Toronto to Accra, Ghana, further expanding its presence in Africa.

The service will operate twice weekly from June 17 to Oct. 22, 2026, on Wednesdays and Sundays.

“We are honoured to be the first and only airline to offer a direct connection between Canada and Ghana,” said Sebastian Ponce, Chief Revenue Officer at Transat. “This non-stop service between Toronto and Accra aligns with our growth strategy on the African continent and directly responds to the needs of the Ghanaian diaspora in Ontario as well as the increasing interest in travelling to Ghana. It will also provide travellers with an entirely new, simplified connectivity option, eliminating the long European layovers that were previously required.”

Joseph Bukari Nikpe, Minister for Transport, Republic of Ghana, also highlighted the meaningful impact of the new connection. “Air Transat flights from Toronto, Canada to Accra, Ghana are not mere flights in the skies, but a connection between aspirations and reality.”

The introduction of Accra continues Air Transat’s growth across the African continent. Earlier additions include new services to Dakar and Agadir, along with its existing year-round operation to Marrakech. Accra now becomes the airline’s fourth African destination and reflects the continued strength of its expansion strategy in the region.
