Africa World Airlines (AWA) is a Ghanaian airline headquartered in Accra. Its business focuses on domestic passenger services within Ghana and regional air transport in West Africa. The company was established in 2010 and began commercial operations in 2012.

The available material does not provide sufficiently reliable information about its ownership structure, fleet size, exact destination count, or recent operating performance, so those details are not expanded here.
History
Africa World Airlines was established in Ghana in 2010 and began commercial operations in 2012. Headquartered in Accra, the airline initially focused on building a domestic air network in Ghana and later extended its services to regional routes in West Africa. Its business model is that of a regional passenger carrier rather than a large intercontinental airline group. The available material does not contain enough verifiable information about detailed corporate history, ownership changes, fleet development, or major route adjustments, so this entry limits its history to the basic facts that can be stated with confidence.
