Citi Business News<\/strong> the inability of the authority to install a 600,000 Euros HF facility it purchased some months ago, will likely result in the abrogation of a contract hence the judgement debt.<\/p>\n\u201cOur local engineers are supposed to mount platforms and erect certain structures before their foreign counterparts will come and mount the antennas and other infrastructure,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
He added, \u201cIf that does not happen before July 11,2016, it means we either have to stop them from coming and the company that is \u00a0the management of the GCAA will have to pay some damages and because we couldn\u2019t finish our part of the agreement on time, there will be some financial implications on\u00a0the authority.\u201d<\/p>\n
The workers have also warned of a possible end in Air Traffic Services in the Accra Flight Information region if government fails to heed their plea.<\/p>\n
A statement issued on the development indicated that two\u00a0parcels\u00a0of land\u00a0which\u00a0were\u00a0acquired to be used as receiving and transmitting\u00a0stations\u00a0at La Nkwantanan\u00a0and La Wireless respectively, have also been forcefully taken over by government between 2007 till present.<\/p>\n
William Amoako further raised concern that the situation will greatly affect the aviation industry if not addressed as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are finding it difficult to communicate with aircrafts over the ocean and other places. The consequence is that it can break down totally and once the system breaks down, we will not be able to talk or communicate with other aircrafts which are a bit far away from Accra central,\u201d he explained to Citi Business News.<\/strong><\/p>\n\u201cWe manage a very big portion of the ocean, all the aircrafts over the ocean are being monitored by various equipment, radar systems as well as and communication. Once we do not have contact with them to tell them what exactly to do, it creates a lot of safety issues,\u201d he further observed.<\/p>\n
Appeals have been unsuccessful<\/strong><\/p>\nThe workers also argued that several attempts by management of the GCAA through\u00a0the Ministry of Transport for about 250 acres of land to be\u00a0released to them have been unsuccessful.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are aware that, the management \u00a0of GCAA, as well as the ministry of Transport,\u00a0has made several appeals, and has justified\u00a0 \u00a0the need to; at least, give about 250 acres of the land back to GCAA, but all to no avail,\u201d portions of the statement read.<\/p>\n
The group also warned of some safety and security implications to the country\u2019s aviation industry.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want \u00a0to reiterate \u00a0that \u00a0if the \u00a0said \u00a0land is not released \u00a0for the \u00a0installation\u00a0 \u00a0of this \u00a0vital \u00a0equipment, the system can shut down \u00a0and we may not be able to provide \u00a0Air Traffic \u00a0Services over the ocean and other portions of the airspace. This will have safety and security implications\u00a0for the country and the industry in general.\u201d<\/p>\n
