A Member of Parliament’s Transport Committee, Yusif Jajah, says McDan Aviation is expected to resume operations at the private jet terminal soon.
He said following a visit to the terminal to assess at first hand the situation that led to the revocation of McDan Aviation’s operation license, last month, the committee believes that the company could soon resume operations after complying with the regulatory instructions from the Ghana Airports Company Limited.
Speaking to citinews on Wednesday, the Ayawaso North MP said the briefing the committee was given was that McDan needed to undertake some technical changes regarding its signage and also fulfil some financial obligations.
He, however, said the committee was pleased that discussions were ongoing amongst McDan Aviation, the Ghana Airports Company Limited and the Civil Aviation Authority to resolve the issues.
McDan Aviation has gone to meet with the Ghana Airports Company Limited and the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority to see the way forward. They are in discussion to regularize the signage that is there. And that is the technical aspect, so they are almost through with that,” he said.
“The second issue has to do with the financials. It is a fee that needs to be agreed upon with both parties. They are now discussing it which I believe will soon be over and once it is over, McDan Aviation will have to seal that commitment by paying and if that is done, I think the operation of the terminal will have to commence,” he noted.
Yusif Jajah, had earlier said it will take between one and two years for McDan Aviation to regularize its private jet services at the Kotoka International airport but following the briefing, he believes that it will be sooner than he previously thought.
