Ghana and Zambia have signed a bilateral air services agreement to allow direct flights between the two countries, a move expected to enhance trade, tourism, and people-to-people exchanges.
President John Dramani Mahama announced the agreement during the Ghana–Zambia Business Dialogue in Lusaka on Friday, February 6, 2026, describing it as a significant step toward improving connectivity and reducing the cost of travel and trade.
“Partnership in execution will determine our success. I am encouraged by the agreements we have signed during this state visit, including the visa waiver that will allow citizens of both countries to travel visa-free, and the bilateral air services agreement that will enable direct flights between Ghana and Zambia,” President Mahama said.
He noted that the agreements would enhance mobility and facilitate the movement of goods, capital, and people, thereby strengthening economic and diplomatic ties between the two nations.
The air services deal is expected to create new opportunities for businesses, investors, and tourism operators by making travel faster and more affordable.
The agreement is part of President Mahama’s three-day state visit to Zambia, which aims to deepen trade, investment, and private sector cooperation between the two countries.
