ACC Accra

How deep the ACC board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from ACC. This reads the same 32 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound, what the clock here does to a Gulf working day and which of the destinations shut at night, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 22of the 32 destinations are flown by one airline
• 14destinations run less than once a day
• 5destinations have four or more departures a day
• 21.9%of the destinations name Africa World Airlines, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at ACC

25 airlines appear on the ACC board and they do not hold it evenly. Africa World Airlines is on 7 of the 32 destinations, 21.9 per cent of them, and on 1 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 40.9 of the 67.9 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is Passion Air on 4 destinations. 10 of the 25 airlines at ACC appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

No airline holds more than 21.9 per cent of the destinations here, which is the more comfortable shape of the two. A cancellation at a spread airport is usually a rebooking rather than a lost day, provided the sector itself carries more than one operator, and 22 of the 32 sectors at ACC do not.

How much of the ACC board is daily

Of the 32 destinations, 18 are flown at least once a day and 14 are not, 1 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the ACC board is flown about once a day.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: ACC to Cotonou (COO) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 38 of the 67.9 departures a day, 56 per cent of the whole board. More than half of everything that leaves ACC is aimed at those five places, so the depth on the board above is thinner than the destination count suggests, and a hand carry that is not going to one of them is planned around a single departure time.

The ten destinations out of ACC where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable. 3 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from ACC

The desk holds the return direction for 27 of the 32 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On one of them the return into ACC runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gap is Casablanca (CMN) at 1.4 out a day against 0.86 back.

It runs the other way as well: Doha (DOH) files 0.43 a day back into ACC against 0.29 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at ACC

ACC keeps Africa/Accra time, four hours behind Dubai all year.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 05:00 at ACC, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for five hours. A customs question raised in the last four hours of the Dubai afternoon reaches nobody at ACC until the next morning, which is the practical limit on a same day instruction here.

The night at ACC

3 of the destinations from here carry a documented night restriction of their own, which is a departure time question at this end rather than an arrival problem at the other.

Into Amsterdam (AMS) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from ACC that lands inside it leaves around 14:13, on a modelled block of 6h 47m. Into Brussels (BRU) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from ACC that lands inside it leaves around 14:25, on a modelled block of 6h 35m. Into London (LGW) the door shuts at 23:30 local, so the last departure from ACC that lands inside it leaves around 15:54, on a modelled block of 6h 36m. Those three departure times out of ACC are worked backwards from the published window with the block time model this site uses everywhere, 720 to 880 km an hour by sector length with thirty minutes on the ground, so they are arithmetic rather than a timetable and the desk checks the published departure before it promises the landing.

Where ACC turns up on the rest of this site

ACC carries two other pages on this site as well: the Ghana country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport and the ACC transit page for the connecting case, where a courier changes aircraft here rather than starting or finishing.

The site publishes 8 airport pair pages that start or end at ACC, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Accra to Lagos (LOS), Accra to Addis Ababa (ADD) and Accra to Casablanca (CMN).

One of the 346 published hand carry lanes runs through this airport: Dubai to Accra. A lane page is the commercial version of the board above, with the customs, the ground legs and the price at ACC written out.

One courier posting names ACC as the airport a courier here flies from: Accra.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with ACC already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 32 destinations above.
