Good Day ladies and gentlemen, and Akwaaba to Ashanti Airlines Flight AA2998 from Yaa Asantewaa International Airport, Kumasi to Atlanta. This is your Captain, Akwasi Donkor.

We will be flying at an altitude of 35,000 feet with an estimated flying time of 11 and a half hours. The weather looks good and we expect a smooth ride.  

Once we are airborne, you will all be served with a complimentary calabash of chilled palm wine, and on our dinner menu tonight, you will be able to choose from an exquisite list of fufu with ebunuebunu or adwene light soup with prekese, ampesie with kontomire ábom' and many more. 

We are awaiting final clearance from control tower and then we will be on our way. Meanwhile, please relax and enjoy some nwomkro music from the Manhyia Tete Nwomkro group, led by Nana Buabasa.

Kindly contact any member of our cabin crew should you require an anti-bleeding kit.
