Nouvelle compagnie Ghanéene ?

Message par AirKd »

A team of Ghanaian and Chinese investors has launched a new airline that will operate passenger and cargo services within Ghana and West Africa.

Africa World Airlines Limited (AWAL) has been presented with its air carrier licence by the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) and will begin flight operations in mid-2011 with all-jet services from Accra to three Ghanaian cities - Kumasi, Tamale and Takoradi, according to a statement released in Accra on Monday by the airline.

Air Commodore (Rtd) Kwame Mamphey, Director-General of GCAA, congratulated the management on achieving the milestone and welcomed the new carrier on Ghanaian domestic routes in order to increase competition and reduce airfares.

He advised the airline to ensure that the highest standards of safety and reliability are maintained and assured it of GCAA’s support.

Togbe Afede XIV, Chief Executive of SAS Finance Group and Chairman of AWAL, assured the public that the airline intends to revolutionalise domestic air transport by making it affordable to many people.

Africa World Airlines Limited is a Ghanaian private-sector joint venture between SAS Finance Group, an integrated investment banking and financial advisory firm, and Chinese investment and technical partners.

“Africa World intends to provide low cost scheduled airline passenger services from Accra to domestic and regional destinations, using jet aircraft throughout its route network,” the statement said.
