Two local investors seeking to partner government for national airline, Report<\/b><\/p>\n Ghana Airways collapsed in 2004<\/p>\n Government grants approval for establishment of national carrier<\/p>\n Business mogul, Dr Daniel McKorley is advocating for privatisation of the proposed national airline. <\/p>\n According to him, private management of the home-based carrier following the collapse of Ghana Airways and the Ghana International Airlines will ensure sustainability and efficiency.<\/p>\n Speaking in an interview with , Dr Daniel McKorley who is also Executive Chairman of the McDan Aviation explained that in order for Ghana\u2019s national carrier to flourish, its operations and robust management must prioritize excellent service delivery. <\/p>\n \u201cAviation is business. It is not how much money you use to set up an aviation business, it\u2019s how you manage it. I\u2019m an entrepreneur, and in doing business, consistency must be your number 1 goal. So, starting a national carrier is possible, but the question is how will it be managed?\u201d Dr. McKorley asked. <\/p>\n He continued, \u201cGovernment can partner with the private sector to set up that national carrier and leave it in the hands of a private individual to manage. That will make it successful. So, I am calling on the government to call on the private sector to start the national carrier and leave the management in the hands of the private sector.\u201d <\/p>\n Meanwhile, following the collapse of Ghana Airways in 2004 due to an array of challenges, Ghana has been without a national airline for international travel activities.<\/p>\n But after several attempts to re-establish a new national carrier, Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta during the 2022 budget statement in Parliament last year hinted at plans to kickstart operations this year [2022].<\/p>\n \u201dAs part of Government pursuit to make Ghana the Aviation Hub for the West African Sub-region, the Ministry is at its final stage of negotiations with the selected strategic partner for the establishment of the home-based carrier. It is expected that the negotiation will be finalized and the airline established in 2022,\u201d Ken Ofori-Atta told Parliament.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ghana Airways collapsed in 2004 Two local investors seeking to partner government for national airline, Report Ghana Airways collapsed in 2004 Government grants approval for establishment of national carrier Business mogul, Dr Daniel McKorley is advocating for privatisation of the proposed national airline.
