The management of Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) has strongly refuted recent media claims that its officials were involved in passing false information to Ranking Member of Parliament's Defence and Interior Committee and Member of Parliament for Assin South, Rev Ntim Fodjour, who made allegations of drug trafficking concerning two aircraft that landed at Kotoka International Airport several weeks ago.

In a statement issued by the company on April 8, 2025, GACL clarified that the landing permits for all aircraft entering Ghana are issued by the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) in collaboration with the National Security, not GACL.

The statement further emphasised that all necessary security checks were carried out by Aviation Security and National Security, while ground handling services for the arriving aircraft were managed by Swissport.

The GACL categorically denied any evidence of illegal substances being found on board the two aircraft in question.
