He emphasized that the $2 million in question stems from a land purchase near the Action Chapel area, where a third party has also claimed ownership and obtained documentation through the Lands Commission.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"11:1-11:340\">\u201cWe have been in constant dialogue with Ghana Airport Company regarding this matter,\u201d Ampromfi stated. \u201cGiven the ongoing litigation, it is prudent to suspend payments related to this land until the legal issues are resolved. It simply does not make business sense to pay substantial sums while the ownership of the land remains contested.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"13:1-13:341\">The closure of the McDan Aviation Private Jet Terminal by GACL followed the company\u2019s failure to settle a debt exceeding $3 million, encompassing land leases, rentals, and accrued terminal charges.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"13:1-13:341\">This  marks the second instance of the terminal\u2019s closure, with a previous indefinite ban imposed in February 2022 due to operational breaches.<\/p>\n<div data-ad-id=\"416073\" style=\"text-align:center; margin-top:px; margin-bottom:px; margin-left:px; margin-right:px;float:none;\" class=\"afw afw_custom  afw_ad afwadid-416073  \">\n<div data-elementor-type=\"wp-post\" data-elementor-id=\"416038\" class=\"elementor elementor-416038\" data-elementor-post-type=\"rb-etemplate\">\n<aside class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8ce16df e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"8ce16df\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{\" background_background=\"\">\n<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bdeffa7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bdeffa7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<p><strong>Your feedback is crucial.<\/strong> Tell us what you loved and where we can do better.
