Ghana ready to have a home-based airline in March this year
The finance minister who presented this year’s budget to parliament last year had disclosed the intention of the government to have its own home-based airline.
This according to the Aviation Minister will by the second quarter of this year be implemented.
According to the minister, the ministry had already entered into an understanding with Ethiopian Airlines and was also engaging with some investors who wanted to participate in the effort.

He further added that negotiations will be held in February that would be concluded by the end of March when “hopefully the operationalisation of a home-based carrier will commence”.
Mr Adda was optimistic that the intervention will bring a lot of improvement in the country’s economy since it will create jobs and attract a lot of investors.
“This would be an opportunity for those Ghanaian youth who are technology inclined and would like to become pilots and airline technicians to get themselves trained to achieve their goals,” he said.
