The Government is in the process of setting up a national airline, President John Dramani Mahama has hinted.
The President made the disclosure during the credential ceremony to receive letters of credence from Dr Abdulla Muraid Sulaiman Mohammed Al Mandoos, Ambassador of UAE to Ghana, at the Presidency in Accra.
President Mahama stated that Ghana will consider partnering with the UAE to establish a national airline once countries with the required expertise express interest. "And so, when we get to that stage, I know that apart from Emirates, like Dubai and several other companies, if they're interested in partnering with Ghana, to take advantage of Ghana as an aviation hub, we'll be willing to work with the UAE," the President said.
He recalled that when Ghana Airways started the routes from Accra to Dubai, there was a small number of people who used to go to the UAE. "Today we have daily flights with Emirates between Accra and Dubai.
