Ghana Airports Company shuts down McDan Aviation Private Jet Terminal over $3 million debt

Management of Ghana Airport Company Limited (GACL) has locked up the McDan Aviation Private Jet Terminal, popularly known as Terminal 1.

The move follows the company's failure to pay over $3 million in debt owed to GACL.

A news team visited the facility and observed that two police officers had been stationed at the entrance to prevent access.

Speaking to GHOne/Starr News, the chairman of the Ghana Airport Company Divisional Union of the Public Services Workers Union of TUC, Alhaji Abdul Issaka Bamba, stated that the payment of the outstanding debt is long overdue.

Mr. Bamba expressed the union's support for management's action, warning that any other partners owing the company would face similar consequences.
