Ghana's national airline task force close to completing work - Transport Minister
Transport Minister Joseph Bukari Nikpe has said the task force established to spearhead plans for Ghana’s national airline is nearing completion of its work, signalling progress towards the country’s return to the aviation industry.
Ghana's national airline task force is reportedly nearing completion of its work, according to Transport Minister Joseph Bukari Nikpe. This development signals a significant step towards Ghana's re-entry into the aviation industry. Speaking at the launch of Uganda Airlines' Accra–Entebbe service, the minister emphasized President John Dramani Mahama's commitment to Ghana's active participation in aviation, beyond just investing in airport infrastructure.
The task force, nearing its final stages, aims to connect various production centers, markets, factories, and tourism sites across Africa, thereby facilitating free movement and economic activity. Ghana Airways, the country's previous national carrier, was liquidated several years ago, and the government is now exploring the possibility of reviving this industry through a new national airline.
The minister's optimism aligns with President Mahama's expressed hope that Ghana Airways will resume operations before his term ends, as discussed at the Russian University of Transport.
