Preliminary studies affirm viability of proposed national airline; roadmap for establishment agreed – Gov’t
Government says preliminary studies have affirmed the viability of establishing a new national airline.
Preliminary studies have confirmed the potential success of a new national airline for Ghana, according to the government. Officials have now reached an agreement on a roadmap outlining the steps needed for its establishment. The process is anticipated to include finding a strategic airline partner and a technical ally, securing an Air Operator Certificate, and deciding on the fleet as well as financing plans.
President John Dramani Mahama convened with officials from the Boeing Group on Monday, receiving assurances of their continued support during both the setup and operational stages of the airline. The proposed national carrier is poised to enhance utilization of Ghana's upgraded airport infrastructure and aid President Mahama's goal of making Accra the top aviation hub in West Africa.
Additionally, it is projected to create numerous jobs within the aviation sector, offering positions in piloting, cabin crew, aeronautical engineering, and aviation management.
