Minority demands answers on 2 flights which departed Ghana to Gran Canaria Island

The Minority in Parliament is demanding full disclosure from National Security. They want information about two flights that landed in Ghana in early March. These flights departed for Gran Canaria, a Spanish island, on March 25.

The flights included an air ambulance and a private jet. They allegedly stayed in the country for several days before leaving. This has raised concerns about their purpose and cargo.

John Ntim Fordjour, the Ranking Member of the Defence and Interior Committee, is leading the call for transparency. He suspects these aircraft may have been involved in drug trafficking or money laundering.

Fordjour stated that intelligence indicates an air ambulance landed at Kotoka International Airport on March 20, 2025. The flight, Air MED L823 AM, remained in Ghana for five days. However, there is no evidence it carried any patients upon arrival or departure.

He noted there are no records of medical referrals or accompanying patients. Instead, he claims the air ambulance carried suspicious cargo believed to be cocaine and cash.

Fordjour also expressed concerns about a private jet named Antonov 12B. This jet landed at Kotoka International Airport on March 12, 2025, from Gran Canaria. It stayed in Ghana for 13 days before departing at 6:40 AM on March 25—the same day as the air ambulance.

The simultaneous departure of both aircraft has raised further suspicions. The Minority demands full transparency regarding what these aircraft transported into and out of Ghana.

They are also calling for urgent investigations into this matter. They want to ensure Ghana does not become a hub for illicit activities.

Fordjour emphasized that the rise in drug trafficking and money laundering since the NPP government handed over power to the NDC is alarming. He urged National Security to maintain transparency to assure citizens of safety in our airspace.
