Ghana has signed a Letter of Intent to purchase up to six Dash 8-400 aircraft. The country recently announced plans to launch a home-based carrier in Accra, Ghana to serve domestic, regional and international routes.
The MoU was signed on Tuesday, November 19 at the Dubai Air Show
“We are very excited to be working with De Havilland Canada to develop our fleet with a modern aircraft that will support the development of our new national airline and provide a strong foundation as we work to build a broader network and become the aviation hub of West Africa,” said Joseph Kofi Adda, Minister of Aviation, Ghana.
“The Dash 8-400 aircraft provides the proven reliability and performance we are seeking and will be a great asset to our airline.
“We are committed to offering our communities state-of-the-art air transportation, and the Dash 8-400 aircraft offers the perfect mix of passenger amenities, cargo capacity, operational economics and environmental credentials to meet our requirements.
We are looking forward to finalizing a purchase agreement with De Havilland Canada in the near future and securing up to six Dash 8-400 aircraft for our fleet,” added the Minister.
“It is always a source of pride when our Dash 8-400 aircraft is selected by a new operator and we welcome this opportunity to work with the people of Ghana as they establish their home-based carrier,” said Todd Young, Chief Operating Officer, De Havilland Canada.
The Dash 8-400 aircraft continues to confirm its position as the world’s most advanced and most productive turboprop
The re-launch of the Ghana national carrier will see services initially within the West African sub-region in anticipation of future routes to destinations in Europe, North America and Asia, according to the Minister of Aviation, Mr Joseph Kofi Adda.
