Jeff MacKinney, president of North American's owners World Air Holdings, said: 'There is significant demand in the Baltimore/Washington DC area for direct flights to Africa, and North American's Boeing 767-300ER service will greatly reduce flying time between BWI and the cities of Banjul and Accra in West Africa.'
