\n\t\t\t\t\tMcDan Aviation has refuted claims by the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) that it owes $3 million in accumulated charges, leading to the closure of Terminal 1 at Kotoka International Airport (KIA) on December 30, 2024.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\tIn a statement issued on Monday, McDan Aviation\u2019s CEO, Kwaku Ampronfi, clarified that the reported $3 million debt is incorrect. He emphasized that the company has made significant payments and is actively working with the GACL to address the issue. \u201cWe do not owe $3 million as has been erroneously reported,\u201d the statement read. \u201cWe made a payment last week and will resume further payments in January 2025.\u201d\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\tThe closure of Terminal 1 is not the first time McDan Aviation has faced such action. In February 2022, the GACL also shut down the terminal over operational breaches. Additionally, the company addressed a separate issue involving a parcel of land acquired from the GACL, explaining that payments for the land are delayed due to an ongoing court case involving third-party litigation. McDan stressed that this land dispute is unrelated to its Terminal 1 operations.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\tTerminal 1, originally used for domestic flights, was allocated to McDan Aviation in 2021 for Fixed Base Operator (FBO) services after the commissioning of Terminal 3 shifted international operations.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\tMcDan Aviation described the GACL\u2019s decision to close Terminal 1 as \u201cregrettable,\u201d maintaining that discussions on financial obligations are ongoing and that the closure was unnecessary. \u201cWe remain committed to resolving this issue through constructive dialogue,\u201d the company stated.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\tThe incident has raised questions about McDan Aviation\u2019s financial management and compliance with regulatory requirements. However, the company remains optimistic about resolving the matter and resuming private jet services at Terminal 1.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
