United Nigeria Airlines (UNA) will make a landmark regional push on Monday, November 10, 2025, when it begins direct, non-stop services from Abuja and Lagos to Accra, a capital-to-capital link that the carrier says underscores Nigeria’s growing role in West African connectivity.
Flight NUA0590 departs Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, at 10:35 a.m. and will land at Kotoka International Airport, Accra. The Accra service is UNA’s first international route since the airline commenced commercial operations in February 2021 and, the company says, represents a natural next step in its mission — “Flying to Unite.”
In an emailed statement, UNA framed the launch as more than a commercial expansion. “This inaugural regional flight is not merely a business expansion; it is a bridge between nations,” the carrier said, adding that the route will deepen economic, social, and cultural ties across West Africa while boosting trade and tourism. UNA reiterated its pledge to deliver “safe, reliable and world-class service” as it scales operations across the continent.
The new link will offer travellers and businesses a convenient capital-to-capital option between Nigeria and Ghana, promising shorter journey times and simpler connections for diplomatic, corporate, and leisure travellers. Tickets are on sale globally via flyunitednigeria.com and authorized travel agencies.
For Nigeria, the move carries symbolic weight: it spotlights domestic carriers taking the lead on regional air routes and reflects broader ambitions to knit West African economies closer together. UNA’s Accra service arrives at a moment when improved intra-regional mobility is widely seen as a catalyst for trade, tourism, and cultural exchange, and a reminder that aviation remains central to the continent’s promise of deeper integration.
