The C295 aircraft<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

One week after Parliament approved an amount of $105.4 million for the purchase of a number of aircraft, Ghana\u2019s Minister of Defence has signed a contract with Airbus Military for the acquisition of two C295 aircraft, the Minister of Defence Lt. Gen. J. H. Smith has confirmed to ghanabusinessnews.com.<\/p>\n

Airbus Military is an Airbus daughter company based in Spain.<\/p>\n

News about the purchase of five aircraft by the government generated heated debate in the country.<\/p>\n

The two aircraft are to be delivered from the beginning of\u00a02012, information available to ghanabusinessnews.com says.<\/p>\n

The C295, the Minister of Defence was cited to have said elsewhere will enable the Ghana Air\u00a0Force to move troops and other security agencies across the country and within the West\u00a0African sub-region. The aircraft will also be used for medical evacuation, paratrooping,\u00a0training and humanitarian operations including assistance to organizations such as National\u00a0Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) and the peace mission of the United Nations.<\/p>\n
