<\/strong>Ghana has suspended plans to get a partner for the new national airline.<\/p>\n

This is because the work of the approval committee in the Public Private Partnership process has stalled following the election of a new government.<\/p>\n

The halt in operations of the committee will continue until the incoming NPP administration concludes appointments to key ministries, departments and agencies and subsequently form a new approval committee.<\/p>\n

The Committee is expected to approve the Request for the proposal from the ten shortlisted airlines.<\/p>\n

Transport Minister, Fiifi Kwetey had earlier stated that the process should be completed in October this year.<\/p>\n

It is however unclear when the new committee will be formed.<\/p>\n

The new national airline has become imperative following the collapse of the Ghana International Airlines in 2010.<\/p>\n

The Ghana International Airlines was established in 2004 with 70 percent shares held by the government and 30 percent held by a US consortium GIA-USA.<\/p>\n

National airline necessary<\/p>\n

The quest to revive the operations of a new national airline has been viewed by some observers in the aviation industry as an indispensable component of attaining the objective of becoming an aviation hub in the sub-region.<\/p>\n

According to the Country Manager for Air France KLM, Dick Van Niewwenhuyzen, the increased infrastructure will build confidence in Ghana\u2019s aviation industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cI see new departure terminals being built; also Ghana recently launched its new cargo centre and I believe the country is undertaking these infrastructure because it sees growth, opportunities to expand the business. I think the market will remain same but the cake will be shared differently among participants in the industry,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n
