as stranded passengers stone officials
Reports reaching Asempa News indicate that workers of Ghana International Airlines (GIA) have been asked to go home until further notice.
This is the latest after a series of flights were cancelled owing to contractual agreements between GIA and its partners in the United Kingdom and the recent volcanic eruption in the Iceland.
The Ghana International Airlines has been in the news in recent times for the bad reasons – it has been grounded on a number of occasions, as well as its former officials been hauled to court for roles they played in managing the airline.
There was confusion at the offices of the GIA Friday morning when passengers of the airlines who were billed to travel this week had their flight postponed indefinitely.
Sources say passengers threw stones at officials of the airlines.
A staff of the GIA who spoke to Asempa News on condition of anonymity said they are yet to be told when to report to work.
Meanwhile, an insider tells Asempa News government has taken over the beleaguered airlines.
Moreover, the Managing Director of GIA Mrs. Gifty Annan-Myrs is said to have been summoned by the Minister of Transportation Mike Hammah over the latest development.
At the time of filing this report, the meeting was underway at the ministry.
