Air Transat has dropped its planned Toronto service to Ghana's capital, Accra, from its schedule, according Aeroroutes, reversing an expansion that would have added a fourth African destination to the airline's network.
The service was set to operate twice weekly between YYZ and Kotoka International Airport (ACC) beginning 14JUN, using Airbus A330-200 aircraft, with Wednesday and Sunday departures through October.
With a scheduled block time of about 11 hours and 35 minutes, it would have been Transat’s longest route, surpassing by 15 minutes YYZ service to Istanbul, which began in December 2025, at 11 hours and 20 minutes.
First announced in November and reported by Open Jaw, the Accra route was positioned alongside new service to Dakar, Senegal's capital city, and Agadir, in southwestern Morocco, as well Transat’s year-round Marrakech service as part of a broader push into Africa.
Whie Accra has been removed, the Dakar and Agadir routes remain in place, with YUL–DSS service set to began 17JUN at twice-weekly frequency and YUL–AGA service launching 12JUN on a weekly basis.
Air Transat has not publicly detailed the reason for the removal of service to Ghana, and it was not clear whether the route could be reinstated at a later date.
