Accra, Sept. 6, GNA - The management of the Airport Fuel Depot at the Kotoka International Airport on Thursday advised airlines operating at the airport to refuel from other countries. This follows the inability of the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) to meet regular demand of the Depot since last Friday.
The Management said in a notice copied to the Airlines obtained by the Ghana News Agency that scheduled flights should make alternative refuelling arrangements, adding that unscheduled flights would not be refuelled.
The Acting Director General of the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), Mr Simon Allotey, said in an interview with GNA that GCAA was in the process of beginning the construction of an additional fuel storage tank at the airport to ensure that there was adequate reserve of aviation fuel at all times. 6 Sept. 07
