South African Airways has introduced its new Airbus A330-300 on the Washington DC-Accra route.
The new Airbus A330-300 has 249 seats – 46 in business class and 203 in economy class. The A330 has 68 fewer seats than the 317-seat A340-600 (42 in premium business class and 275 in economy class) that was previously used on the route.
SAA’s head of media relations, Tlali Tlali, said aircraft deployment was based on demand and if there was an upsurge, the airline had aircraft available and would respond accordingly. He said decisions were based on the efficiency of operations, informed by demand, and deployment of the right size of equipment.
This service will complement the Washington-Dakar route.
