🌍 Accra Records More International Business Jet Arrivals Than Abidjan
International business jet arrivals at Accra and Abidjan differed from August 29 through September 27, 2026. Avi-Go data show that, over those 30 days, business jets departing from foreign countries made 68 landings at Accra Airport (DGAA) and 26 at Abidjan Airport (DIAP). Arrivals are classified as international when the departure country differs from the country of the destination airport, with each landing counted as one arrival. The figures cover only arrivals from foreign countries at the two airports and exclude domestic flights. They therefore reflect cross-border arrival activity at the two airports during this period, not customer numbers or ground-handling revenue.
Impact: For ground-handling providers assessing inbound international flights at both Accra and Abidjan, Accra offered more arrivals to pursue as potential business during this period. The difference between 68 and 26 arrivals can help set priorities for customer outreach, but landing counts do not directly indicate parking duration or the services required for each flight. Staffing and facilities should not be allocated solely according to the difference in arrival counts.
Recommendation: If a provider can begin customer development at only one location, it could first assess the service requirements associated with Accra Airport’s 68 international arrivals, using Abidjan’s 26 arrivals as a comparison for the same period. It is worth tracking whether the gap in international arrivals between the two airports persists over a longer period before deciding whether to expand permanently stationed ground-handling resources.
