Brexit Bites Ghana As British Airways Cuts Down Flights

Accra-based Joy Business is reporting that the British Airways has cut down the number of flights on its Accra-London-Accra route to five days due to the exigencies of Brexit.

Consequently, passengers travelling on this route through British Airways can only do so on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

The report says another consequence is that those seeking alternative flights to the UK, including with Dutch airline, KLM, will have to deal with the inconveniences of getting transit visas.

It also reports that the Dutch Embassy in Ghana is considering a quota system for the number of visas issued by its officials and that when implemented, it might make it difficult for travelers going to London on KLM through Schiphol to get to their destination on time.

In addition to KLM, it said, Brussels Airlines and Air France are also demanding transit visas.

However, it said travelers seeking to explore the transit route to London can fly on Kenyan Airways or Ethiopian Airlines.
