The Authorities should revoke their licence if the reason was fuel shortage, that will be a serious violation if its true they short fuel, the plane could have crashed killing many even on the ground and for what , they charge very high for tickets and don't want to put in fuel, thats very serious playing with people's lives.

This is the biggest joke and lie in the year so far.The aircraft took off and in flight had an indication issue never related to fuel.Capt decided to return back to Accra since we have our maintenance base here.Passengers were disembarked to enable engineers attend to the issue.
After the issue was fixed, the aircraft was refuelled and despatched without any issues.
Remember, the aircraft had to top up fuel after it landed back, and this is just poor journalism.
Imagine you driving a vehicle from Accra to Kumasi and you require 45 liters of fuel for the trip.Upon reaching Nsawam,you realise a problem with the vehicle and decide to return to your mechanic in Accra.Now after the problem has been fixed,don't you top up for the fuel consumed from Nsawam to Accra.
Let's fear God and desist from these propaganda of bring him down,finish him,etc.

My knowledge is aviation even tells me that for a flight to land safely, you would need to dump the fuel to get the right weight to land. I wonder why we want to create news where there is nothing.

I think serious audit need to be made on Passion Air aeroplanes. I was on their flight from Tamale to Accra and Accra back to Tamale last week. I didn't feel comfortable when the plane took off. It was struggling to move up. I tried a couple of times through maneuvering and turnings. The sound of the engine was very loud and deafening. The plane was vibrating throughout the flight. Something need to be done quickly to avert any potential disaster.

In fact there are real issues with passion airline.
On flight as some of the passion planes take off till they land would always produce insistent noise throughout a large part of the flights. More so they charge exorbitant fares.
There was a time I came to Ghana by KLMN to Kotoka International AirPort right away I tried booking a ticket from the passion airline but my companion quickly advised me saying let’s try from African World airlines. Lo and behold when we tried there the difference in the prices of the air tickets was 200- 300 cedis. While that of the price of the African World airlines prices was 1,700 cedis, that of Passion Airlines was almost 2,000 cedis.
Immediately we opted for the cheapest hence the later.
In the first place their prices are higher. Secondly their flights are inconsistent with less comfortability and safety……
They are covering things.
A very costly airline line to take.

I always advise colleagues to fly with African World Airlines than that rickety Airline called Passion Airlines. They hv serious technical challenges and instead of addressing it, they hv turned deaf ears to it and are flying because of their insatiable appetite for making more money for their shareholders thereby risking the lives of unsuspecting customers. They r well known for cancelling their flights.

Massa safety first.This is not a trotro on the road where you can stop anywhere and refuel. The safety standards states the aircraft fuel tank must be filled to the brim before take off and that was done.

BREAKING NEWS; According to Rev Ntim Fordjour, that plane was carrying narcotics for exports from Takoradi Harbor. It only returned to Accra because someone discovered his Narcotic Informants at the Takoradi Airport!

It doesn't add up. Is it that for every maintenance work the plane has to discharge the fuel before? If not, why refuel after rectifying the error? Come again.

Knowing how incapable and negligence most our professionals are, it would not be a surprise if it is as simple and basic as the low fuel level. We see our incompetence every where we go and across all industries. From the poor health care system killing thousands of patients yearly unreported to the incompetent EGC losing billions of USD each year unable to do a simple job of Bill collection, to the ridiculous Cocobod that manage to lose billions of USD by reckless spending and stealing to our Telecoms which is so unreliable that most people need to use dual sim in order to have basic level of reliability and MTN mm is compromised with insiders involved in the scams and fraud to our lands commission which typically take over 1 year to do any basic registration and cost 10x over the official chargeable fees.

Look at how dilapidated our public facilities are. Look at the current state of our public schools. We can't even find a decent toilet for public use in most public buildings such as courts or administration blocks.

Is this what our forefathers wanted when they were fighting for the independence? 90% of the population is living below the poverty line defined by the UN. Top 2% of the leaders, politicians, chiefs hold over 90% of our wealth. Every government jobs required protocol. Is this the life we want?

After over 65 years after independence, it is the dream of the majority of our citizens to work and live abroad particularly in our former colonial masters land.
