President John Dramani Mahama has met with officials of the Boeing group to advance plans for a new Ghana national airline after preliminary feasibility studies affirmed the commercial viability of the project.
During the meeting, both sides agreed on a structured roadmap to establish the state-backed carrier.
The strategy focuses on searching for a strategic airline partner alongside a technical partner, securing an Air Operator's Certificate, settling fleet selection, and finalizing financing decisions.
Boeing delegates assured President Mahama of "continued support through the process of establishment and operation of the airline."
Aviation Hub and Job Creation
The revival of a national carrier is designed to increase the utilization of Ghana's upgraded airport facilities, supporting Mahama's vision to make Accra "the premier aviation hub in West Africa."
Beyond regional connectivity, the project is expected to deliver a significant employment boost.
Government projects that the venture will create thousands of jobs across the domestic aviation industry, opening direct opportunities for Ghanaian pilots, cabin crew, aeronautical engineers, and aviation management specialists as implementation moves forward.
