Ghana signs for 787s and Dash 8s to equip new carrier
Ghana's govt has signed tentative deals which cover a trio of Boeing 787-9s and 6 De Havilland Canada Dash 8-400s. Disclosing the 787-9 MOU with Boeing at the Dubai air show, Ghana's minister of aviation Joseph Kofi Adda said the widebodies were earmarked for a new home-based carrier in which the govt, holding a 10% golden shareholding, would participate alongside private investors. Adda seeks to differentiate the planned new carrier from "national" or "state-owned" ones – such as Ghana International Airlines, which ceased operations a decade ago, or predecessor Ghana Airways. He stresses that the govt's role will be to "kick-start" the new carrier and then take a back-seat role, leaving strategic decisions to the board. <br/>
