Gov't is seeking partnership to establish National Airline - Transport Minister

Minister for Transport, Joseph Bukari Nikpe, announced plans for a national airline.

The government is seeking strategic partnerships to make this happen.

Due to current economic challenges, the government cannot set up a carrier alone.

They are looking for credible partners to support this vision.

Nikpe spoke to staff at the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority. He mentioned that a shortlist of potential partners will be revealed soon.

“We want a partnership to establish a national airline,” he said.

He added that finding the right partner will take time.

Ghana has not had a national airline since Ghana Airways collapsed in 2004.

Ghana International Airlines also failed in 2010.

Past discussions about reviving a national carrier have not succeeded.
