A move in the right direction. This time we hope government officials will not take the airline for granted and use it for themselves,family and girlfriends. Hopefully with the participation of a private partner this will curtail to make the airline profitable. Let us hope the deal materialise.

Why not? Boeing is not an airline operator, it is a manufacturer of airplanes!

WHY BOEING? SAFETY RECORD NOT TOO GOOD.

WHY ARE OUR APPOINTEES SO SHORTSIGHTED? ARE WE SERIOUS? AMIDST ALL THE SAFETY CONCERNS ABOUT BOEING AIRCRAFTS VICTOR SMITH IS NOW ENGAGING THEM? FOR WHAT? IS HE SO IGNORANT AND DAFT. WHY NOT LEAVE THESE THINGS FOR PROPER ENGINEERS TO HANDLE? MOST OF THEIR AIRCRAFTS WERE GROUNDED BECAUSE OF SAFETY A FEW YEARS AGO. IS SMITH SO IGNORANT AND DAFT? THIS IS NOT YOUR JOB. SOME OF THE NDC APPOINTEES ARE SIMPLY INTERESTED IN PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES BUT NOT ANY SERIOUS BUSINESS.

You are talking about Ghana where management responsibilities are like mountains to politicians. If you know how many stupid people are in governments for themselves and their stomachs, you'd hold your nose. Unless there's serious background monitoring and scrutiny by stakeholders following robust policy decisions lay-down, it will be the same.

Anane who stole moneys belonging to Ghana Airways for his girlfriend in the USA was "awarded" by Kufuor. The family and friends situation you evoked is one of the worst in Ghana however, the Ghana Airways staff were themselves one other serious part in now bad the Airline was mishandled.

Air Afrique was ran down in exactly the same goddamned way, until it crushed, and I watched it go down like Ghana Airways did.

During PNDC's rule Ghana Airways officials were beaten twice at the Cocoa House and the Airport and some 18 sacked! It was after that, that things began to get better, but then things relapsed during NPP, leading to Ghana losing the Airline entirely.

Ever gone to Ethiopia before? Go to their Airport in Adis Ababa and watch. They're joking at all when it is about business.

Please give it to Ethiopia Airlines to run. They know how to run airline business in Africa. Don't waste the taxpayers money like the NPP did.

I believe the government should distance itself from this national airline thing. This should be left to the business community to determine what to do, that is if it is economically viable. The government should not push itself too much into this.

Boeing is already building a servicing facility for Africa in Nigeria so I hope this visit was with positive intentions so we do not create friction like has happened in my cases and then everyone loses

I thought Boeing doesn't run Airlines but only sells planes? Unless you're negotiating to buy the planes on credit, or lease them from Boeing, why are you even talking to them when you haven't got an investor for your proposed airline? But then again, are you going to buy the planes now and impose them on the strategic majority shareholder, instead of allowing them to decide which planes they deem more economical for their investment? Already the signs are showing that this government also doesn't know anything about the Airline business.

Boeing sells aircrafts and ready to supply if your money is ready. Going there is just a "dog and pony show". NO SUBSTANCE!

Politicians, we have seen enough of you and your deceptions. How come that it is only airlines from north Africa and Ethiopia are running efficiently? The rest of Africa, the politicians consider national airlines as their property. They take tickets for themselves, their families and girlfriends without Paying any thing.

Fix the broken schools, health facilities and water systems. We do not need airlines. People have been travelling without national airlines.

I think he just visited boeing. They manufacture planes. You buy it and operate your airline. I may be wrong but car companies don't run transportation business. So is boeing.
