Canada has reached a first-time Blue Sky air transport agreement with Ghana, a West African country the government says is a “growing market.” The new agreement includes the right for Canada and Ghana to designate multiple airlines to operate scheduled air services between the two countries.

Further, airlines can serve any points in the two countries and a capacity of 14 weekly passenger flights and 10 weekly all-cargo flights will be allowed for the airlines of each country.

Airlines can offer services under this new agreement immediately.

“Ghana is a growing market for Canada, and I am pleased to see this first agreement open the door to new opportunities for travellers and businesses in both countries. This agreement will connect more passengers and strengthen our cultural and commercial ties,” said Transport minister Anita Anand.

Minister of Export May Ng noted that the agreement will promote tourism.

Canada has air transport agreements or arrangements covering more than 125 countries.
