Punto Azul has announced the launch of direct flights linking Equatorial Guinea's capital Malabo to Accra, Ghana.

Punto Azul managing director Paul Richards said that the two weekly flights would be formally launched on January 15, 2014. “Since the launch of our operations last year, we have sufficiently served the domestic market with the right product, the addition of Accra to our regional destinations marks the first regional route this year with others to follow.

“We are very grateful for the efficient, professional and cordial treatment shown by the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority in paving the way for our flights to Ghana.”

He further added that Malabo Accra flights would start off with two weekly frequencies operated every Tuesday and Saturday. The launch flight is expected to take to Accra leading government officials, travel agents, businessmen and the media.
