Virgin Atlantic to compete with BA to Ghana

Virgin Atlantic plans to add some healthy competition to the network by planning a new route from London Heathrow to Accra in Ghana, West Africa.

The carrier is awaiting final government approval, but plans to start the route on May 24th, on a three-times weekly basis. Virgin would be competing with British Airways' daily service from London Heathrow, as well as Ghana International Airlines' four-times weekly from London Gatwick.
