McDan Aviation is set to resume operations within the next two days following the Ghana Airports Company Limited’s (GACL) shutdown of its private jet terminal at Kotoka International Airport on Monday.
The company has denied claims that it owes GACL $3 million, describing the figure as inaccurate. In a statement issued by its CEO, Kwaku Ampronfi, McDan Aviation clarified that it has made significant payments, including one last week, and plans further payments in January 2025.
“We do not owe $3 million as has been erroneously reported,” the statement read, adding that the company is actively engaging GACL to resolve the issue.
This marks the second time GACL has shut down the terminal over debts related to McDan Aviation’s operations at Terminal 1, which was allocated to the company in 2021 for Fixed Base Operator (FBO) services.
McDan Aviation also addressed a separate land-related dispute with GACL, explaining that payments tied to the property are on hold due to third-party litigation.
The company emphasized that this issue is unrelated to Terminal 1 operations.
Describing the shutdown as “regrettable,” McDan Aviation reiterated its commitment to resolving the matter through constructive dialogue, urging a collaborative approach moving forward.
