Accra, Dec. 13, GNA – Delta Air Lines, the leading United States carrier to Ghana, has commemorated its 16 years of service in the aviation industry in Ghana, with a commitment to invest in improving the social, educational and health care care of needy Ghanaians.
The milestone, celebrated by Airport operations, GSA staff and customers, demonstrated Delta’s continuous commitment to Ghana since it launched operations in December 2006.
“We are excited to be celebrating 16 years of service to the people of Ghana and we are grateful to government authorities, partners, staff and our cherished customers for their support,” said Jimmy Eichelgruen, Delta’s Regional sales manager for Africa, according to a release shared with the Ghana News Agency.
“Delta remains dedicated to the Ghanaian market as it continues to invest in social and developmental partnerships in the health and education sector to support women, girls, and youth in the country,” he assured.
Delta’s partnership with Breast Care International (BCI) has provided breast cancer education to improve knowledge, change attitudes, and promote the importance of early detection of breast cancer, while offering free screening to women in communities across the country.
More than 65,000 women have been screened with many suspected cases found, it said.
Since 2005, Delta has been supporting Breast Cancer Awareness charities globally, raised more than $24 million dollars and funded more 85 different research projects.
Delta’s and BCI’s resolve and dedicated service every year seek to make meaningful impact in the way cancer is viewed in our community.
In 2011, Delta established the Business School Internship program for Ghanaian business students.
The scheme has provided students with the opportunity to learn how a global company operates, build on their skills and support future career opportunities.
Additionally, Delta partners and supports the Junior Achievement (JA) Africa to advance business and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education among young people across Africa, delivering hands-on immersive learning in work, financial health, entrepreneurship, sustainability, STEM, economics, citizenship, and ethics, among others.
In November, Delta introduced its Premium Select cabin experience in the Ghanaian market, featuring locally-inspired dining, premium hand-crafted amenities and more dedicated service touchpoints.
The service, he explained, was in line with Delta’s unwavering commitment to offering travellers with varieties and options to choose from, while connecting the world and making air travel an experience.
Over the years, Delta has grown its services and leadership as the leading US carrier to Ghana by operating daily flights between Accra and New York.
The Delta hubs in New York- JFK and Atlanta offer an unsurpassed network of hundreds of convenient onward connections worldwide. Delta is committed to providing affordable and quality service to Ghanaians.
Delta Air Lines is the U.S. global airline leader in safety, innovation, reliability and customer experience.
