United Nigeria Airlines (UNA) is set to mark the commencement of its inaugural regional flight operations — a direct, non-stop service from Abuja and Lagos, Nigeria, to Accra, Ghana.
The airline in a statement on Saturday, said the flight operations will begin on Monday, November 10, 2025.
“The flight, NUA 0590 will depart Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, at 10:35 a.m., and arrive at the Kotoka International Airport, Accra, signaling a new chapter for United Nigeria Airlines and a significant advancement in West African air connectivity,” the airline said.
This historic operation represents a direct capital-to-capital service between Abuja and Accra operated by a Nigerian carrier. It underscores United Nigeria Airlines vision of fostering stronger regional integration, enhancing trade and tourism, and promoting cultural exchange across West Africa. The Accra service also marks UNA’s first international operation since the airline began commercial flights in February 2021.
The Accra route is believed to be a natural progression of United Nigeria Airlines mission to “unite” communities and economies across Africa.
“The launch of the Accra route reflects United Nigeria Airlines commitment to our mission statement, ‘Flying to Unite.’ With this expansion, we reinforce our core values as a unifier of people, businesses, and opportunities across the region and beyond,” the statement added.
It continued, “This inaugural regional flight is not merely a business expansion; it is a bridge between nations. United Nigeria Airlines is proud to play a role in deepening economic, social, and cultural ties within West Africa. Our pledge remains to deliver safe, reliable, and world-class service as we continue to expand our footprint across the continent.”
