As earlier reported, Ghanaian pilot Captain Samuel Quainoo is flying the Airbus A380 on this historic journey.
In a video from the plane sighted by YEN.com.gh, the aircraft could be seen filled with passengers as Captain Quainoo announced flight take-off and expected time in flight among other details.
Interestingly, he did so in Twi before he translated into English for others who did not understand.
Meanwhile, a video suggesting that the newly built Terminal 3 at the Kotoka International Airport had been flooded after a downpour in Accra has turned out to be a hoax.
