The interline agreement allows the acceptance of each other’s customers and access to each other’s network. SAA’s relationship with AWA has since grown from the original commercial co-operation into the new interline commercial agreement, which became possible when SAA finalised technology integration with AWA in November. SAA operates daily flights between Johannesburg and Accra, with four of the flights continuing onwards to Washington and the other three flights continue onwards to Abidjan, Cote D’Ivoire. SAA and Africa World Airlines formed a relationship in 2015, which resulted in the commencement of the Accra to Washington Dulles flights. “We are excited by the potential that this African partnership can deliver, and are confident that it will be a win-win relationship for both sides,” Quan said. Quan added that the agreement would help consolidate Africa World Airlines’ position as one of the leading airlines in West Africa. “As the leading carrier on the continent, our aim is to improve air travel connections on the continent through partnerships and this agreement with AWA goes a long way towards improving intra-African travel,” Jarana said. “The agreement augments SAA’s popular and successful Ghana operations and offers customers a host of additional travel options in Ghana as well as further afield in the African West Coast region. This agreement gives our customers seamless connections from Johannesburg into more destinations in Ghana and other West African destinations.

“We are constantly looking at ways of improving our customers’ travel experiences.
