President John Dramani Mahama has directed the inauguration of a Task Force to oversee the establishment of Ghana’s new National Airline. The 10-member Task Force, chaired by Charles Asare, former Managing Director of Ghana Airports Company Limited, is mandated to finalize the business model and operational framework for the airline, coordinate engagements with potential partners, and oversee regulatory compliance and certification processes.
Other members of the Task Force include aviation industry experts, representatives from the Ghana Airports Company Limited, Ghana Civil Aviation Authority, and the Ministry of Transport. The Task Force is expected to provide periodic reports and recommendations to the Office of the President.
The Task Force’s establishment is part of the government’s efforts to operationalize a national airline, a key component of the country’s aviation development agenda. The government has tasked the group with facilitating initial operational arrangements, including staffing, fleet acquisition, and route planning.
