Air Côte d’Ivoire to launch Accra–Paris flights in October

 


Starting October 15, 2025, passengers in Accra bound for Paris will have a new travel alternative, as Air Côte d’Ivoire introduces a daily service linking Ghana to France through its Abidjan hub.

The West African airline will operate nonstop flights from Abidjan to Paris-Charles de Gaulle, timed to connect with its Accra departures at 10:45 a.m. and arrival in Abidjan at 12:00 noon.

In its inaugural week, the onward Paris leg departs at 14:40 hrs, before moving to a regular 15:40 hrs schedule, arriving in Paris at 23:20 hrs — a late-evening slot designed to ensure smooth morning connections across Europe.

For the route, Air Côte d’Ivoire will deploy its newly delivered Airbus A330-900neo, fitted with a four-class cabin comprising business, premium economy, and economy seating. The aircraft offers enhanced passenger comfort while doubling as a cargo workhorse capable of facilitating same-day freight delivery between Paris and Abidjan.

The move expands travel options for Ghanaian passengers, who until now relied mainly on KLM, Brussels Airlines, British Airways, Turkish Airlines, Ethiopian Airlines, or TAP Portugal for Accra–Paris connections.

It also strengthens Abidjan’s positioning as a regional hub competing directly with established carriers operating out of Kotoka International Airport.

Beyond the Paris route, Air Côte d’Ivoire plans to resume flights to Casablanca and Johannesburg in October 2025, reinforcing its growth strategy to link West Africa more effectively to both continental and intercontinental destinations.

Fitch Solutions retains 2025 growth rate projection at 4.2%

 Fitch Solutions has reaffirmed its projection that Ghana’s economy will expand by 4.2% in 2025. This estimate slightly exceeds the International Monetary Fund’s forecast of 4% and the World Bank’s projection of 3.9%. The UK-based research firm attributes its outlook to historically high gold prices, which are expected to cushion the Ghanaian economy against a global slowdown triggered by rising tariffs. Higher gold prices are anticipated to strengthen government revenue, enhance foreign exchange earnings, and help sustain currency stability. The report also highlights that Ghana is relatively less vulnerable to increasing trade restrictions from the United States, given that its primary exports—gold and crude oil—are not directly affected by the tariffs introduced by President Trump’s administration. Moreover, the US constitutes only about 4% to 5% of Ghana’s total exports. In contrast, Ghana’s trade relations are more heavily oriented toward China and European countries, particul...

BoG injects $20m into FX market to support 11 BDCs

  The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has injected $20 million into the foreign exchange market in the latest round of its forward FX auction targeted at Bulk Oil Distribution Companies (BDCs). The intervention, which benefited eleven BDCs, is part of the central bank’s broader strategy to stabilise the cedi and ensure price stability in the petroleum downstream sector. Held on Tuesday, April 29, the auction was priced at a locked exchange rate of GHS 14.28 to the US dollar, with bid offers ranging from GHS 13.85 to GHS 15.55. This move reflects the BoG’s continued effort to deepen forex liquidity and safeguard the domestic fuel supply chain against volatility in global energy markets. By directly supplying FX to BDCs, the central bank seeks to ease pressure on the interbank market, guarantee the uninterrupted flow of petroleum products, and mitigate the pass-through effects of exchange rate fluctuations on fuel prices. The $20 million disbursement forms part of a $120 million programme for th...
