Trinidad and Tobago and Ghana have signed an Air Services Agreement (ASA) aimed at strengthening air connectivity between the Caribbean nation and Ghana, and opening new opportunities for closer links with Africa.
According to Trinidad and Tobago Guardian, the agreement was signed by Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar and Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama during bilateral talks on the sidelines of the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York.

The agreement establishes a framework for air services between the two countries, creating opportunities to expand connectivity and deepen economic, commercial and people-to-people ties. The governments are yet to announce specific routes, airlines or the commencement date for new services. The development is expected to support tourism, trade and investment, while strengthening aviation links between Trinidad and Tobago and the African continent.
For Ghana, the agreement provides another potential gateway for strengthening its connections with the Caribbean and expanding opportunities for tourism and business exchanges between Africa and the Caribbean. The agreement also forms part of Trinidad and Tobago’s broader efforts to expand its international aviation partnerships. The country signed a similar Air Services Agreement with Nigeria in April 2025, described by Trinidad and Tobago’s government as its first such agreement with an African state.
The Ghana agreement could therefore contribute to the development of stronger Africa-Caribbean air connectivity, providing a framework for future direct services and greater movement of travellers, businesses and investment between the two regions.
