The McDan Aviation Private Jet Terminal at the Kotoka International Airport has been shut down by the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) due to an outstanding debt of over $3 million.<\/p>\n
This marks the second time the terminal has been closed down, following a similar incident in February 2022.<\/p>\n
The debt, which includes land leases, rentals, and terminal charges, accumulated over a period, and despite being given until Christmas to settle the amount, McDan failed to clear the debt.
This led to the GACL shutting down the terminal, effective immediately.<\/p>\n
The previous shutdown in February 2022 was due to operational breaches, including McDan Aviation\u2019s failure to comply with the terms and conditions set by the airport authorities.<\/p>\n
The company had launched its private jet services at Terminal 1 of Kotoka International Airport (KIA) despite not meeting the required standards.<\/p>\n
In a letter dated January 31, 2022, GACL ordered McDan Aviation to cease operations at Terminal 1, citing the company\u2019s failure to comply with prior directives.<\/p>\n
The letter, signed by Yaw Kwakwa, then Managing Director of GACL, noted that McDan Aviation had not adhered to the terms for using the terminal as a private jet facility, and as a result, its use was suspended until further notice.<\/p>\n
Despite the previous shutdown and ongoing issues with McDan Aviation\u2019s operations, the company\u2019s failure to settle its debts has led to the latest closure of the private jet terminal.<\/p>\n
This raises concerns about the company\u2019s ability to manage its finances and operate within the regulatory framework.<\/p>\n
