According to sources from the GACL, the accumulated debt stems from unpaid fees and charges owed by McDan Aviation. Despite repeated demands for payment, the company failed to settle its financial obligations, leaving GACL with no option but to enforce the shutdown.
A statement from the GACL emphasized the need to protect the integrity of its operations and ensure that all stakeholders fulfill their contractual commitments. “The GACL remains committed to maintaining high operational standards and financial discipline across all aspects of its operations,” the statement read.
Impact on Operations and Clients
The closure of the terminal, which has been a preferred choice for private jet owners and business executives, is expected to disrupt operations and inconvenience clients. McDan Aviation has been a key player in Ghana’s aviation sector, providing bespoke services to high-profile travelers and contributing to the growth of private air travel in the country.
Several industry players have expressed concern over the potential reputational damage to Ghana’s aviation industry. However, they acknowledge the importance of adhering to financial and operational regulations to ensure sustainability.
McDan Aviation Responds
In response to the shutdown, McDan Aviation has issued a statement acknowledging the debt and expressing its commitment to resolving the issue. The company has appealed for dialogue with the GACL to explore a mutually beneficial resolution that could lead to the reopening of the terminal.
“We are fully aware of our obligations and are committed to engaging with the GACL to address this matter in a timely and amicable manner,” the statement read.
