Ghana's presidential jet has been out of service for months following the discovery of serious faults and corrosion during a routine inspection in France, raising fresh concerns over the state of the country's ageing presidential fleet.
The Falcon 900EX EASy, registered 9G-EXE, was flown to Dassault Falcon Service (DFS) in Le Bourget, France, on March 11, 2025, for its scheduled 24-month inspection.
According to 3news.com, what was expected to be a standard check quickly escalated into a major overhaul when technicians discovered corrosion affecting both the left and right fuel feeder tanks, as well as the centre wing tanks, a defect that, if ignored, could lead to midair engine failure.
The report also revealed significant issues with Engine No. 2, including damage to its air intake plug and turbofan, both of which require full replacement.
