Management of Ghana Airport Company has shut down a private jet terminal belonging to McDan Aviation Company.
The move follows the refusal of the company to halt the inauguration of the terminal as directed by the Managing Director for Ghana Airport Company, Yaw Kwakwa over security and safety breaches.
The closure comes four days after the facility which is Ghana’s first private jet charter service at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) in Accra was launched on Friday, 28th January 2022.
Starr News has gathered armed security personnel last night stormed the terminal to shut it down. Union leaders have in a letter to the MD expressed support to management as it seeks to ensure adherence to protocols while demanding outstanding financial obligations yet to be met by McDan over the acquisition of the terminal are done immediately.
Divisional Union Chairman of GACL Abdul Issaka Bamba in an interview revealed Ghana’s Kotoka International Airport risks downgrading over the breaches outlined in the MD’s letter to McDan.
Mr. Bamba warned union members will not be deployed to the terminal if the concerns are not addressed.
