The state of the Presidential jet makes it unsafe for President Akufo-Addo to use for long distance travels, Nana Akomea, Managing Director of State Transport Corporation has said.
Speaking on Good Morning Ghana, he noted that since the Presidential jet almost crushed in 2018, it was advised that the President only use it for short distances and not more than 5 hour journeys.
Therefore, based on this advise, the country has no choice than to buy a new jet or charter one for the President whenever he has to travel a long distance.
“The claim that President Akufo-Addo has decided not to use the presidential jet is not true. It is not president Akufo-Addo’s decision. In fact, what has been recommended since 2018 October where they almost had a crash in America…
“… the reports that came out from the experts in the military and so on was that they shouldn’t use that jet for long-distance travel and for more than 5 hours and ordered that either the president charters or we buy a new aircraft,”
He noted that the President uses the Presidential jet in his local travels and within West Africa.
