Stakeholders are scheduled to undertake an inspection tour of the location ahead of the commencement of flights from both Accra and Tamale.<\/p>\n<p>The Tamale flights will commence on May 28 and end on May 31, while the Accra flights will start on June 2 and end on June 6, flights from both ends totaling nine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By A.R.
