United Announces First Ever Nonstop Flight to Africa

United Airlines announced it will start its first ever nonstop flight to Africa on June 20. The service between Washington's Dulles airport and Accra, Ghana, will be on a 767-300 (surprisingly, they are not using one of their 777s) and the duration will be 10.30 hours to Ghana and 11.25 hours to DC.
