Über viele Jahre setzen Ghana Airways die DC-9-50 ein. Im Juli 1978 wurde eine einzige fabrikneue DC-9-51 übernommen. Das Flugzeug wurde auf nahezu allen Kurz- und Mittelstrecken eingesetzt und durch Fokker F28 ergänzt. Diese besagte DC-9 verunglückte in den 1990er Jahren und wurde durch bis zu drei angemietete DC-9-50 ersetzt. Ghana Airways musste mittlerweile ihren Flugbetrieb einstellen.
Weitere Informationen über die DC-9-50 bei Ghana Airways folgen noch.
Alle folgenden Angaben stammen aus einem damaligen Flugplan der Ghana Airways. Erleichternd ist die Tatsache, dass sämtliche Rotationen von nur eben dieser einen DC-9-50 absolviert wurden. Man beachte eventuell die laut Flugplan sehr kurzen Bodenzeiten von oftmals nur 30 Minuten. Das Einsatzprofil der DC-9 war stark nach Westafrika ("West Coast Services") ausgerichtet, zusätzlich wurden aber auch Lome (Togo) und Lagos (Nigeria) ("East Coast Services") angesteuert. Einmal pro Woche wurde Las Palmas (Kanarische Inseln) bedient. Man beachte, das diverse Streckenpaare eher kurz waren und eine ganze Anzahl von Zielen nur mit mindestens einer, oftmals aber auch mehreren Zwischenlandungen ab Accra bedient wurden. Es ist anzunehmen, dass Ghana Airways teilweise oder gar auf allen Teilstrecken die gesetzliche Erlaubnis hatte, Passagiere zusätzlich an Bord zu nehmen. Für die insgesamt suboptimale Infrastruktur in dieser Region waren und stellen Flugverbindungen eine essentiell wichtige Rolle für eine Verbesserung dieser Situation. Im Vergleich zu manch anderer westafrikanischen Fluggesellschaft konnten Ghana Airways sich deutlich abheben und zeitweise einen Betrieb anbieten, der in den Bereichen Flugbetrieb und Sicherheit denen industrialisierter westlicher Staaten nicht zu scheuen brauchte.
