Ethiopian selected to create new Ghanaian carrier

Ethiopian Airlines has sealed an agreement with the Ghanaian govt to develop a new national carrier for the country. The carrier says Ghanaian Aviation minister Joseph Adda and Ethiopian CE Tewolde Gebremariam signed a memorandum of understanding in Addis Ababa Wednesday to establish the new airline in early 2019. The final ownership structure of the unnamed carrier is still to be determined but Adda has stated that the govt is not seeking to hold more than a 10% stake. Ghana has been without a national carrier since the demise of Ghana International in 2010, but the country is served by private operators including Ghanian company Africa World Airlines. <br/>
