What is the benefit of this to the Ghanaian?! Even the Minister spending time on it is a financial loss to the Ghanaian! Yes, you are seeking partners, but the Ghanaian will have to chip in. This thing will only be of benefit to the political class and those connected to them. A direct theft from the Ghanaian without political connections!

Forget this nonsense of a National Airline. Do you know how many airlines make money in the world? Much more this corrupt Ghana.

I don't see why we can't have a national airline and a shipping line. I don't get it. Let's us reset this country now

Have you ever heard a story of how Ghana Airways usually refused to carry passengers and take off with empty planes because they refused to pay bribes to board.

When you have status "OK", meaning you're supposed to travel by every means, you'd arrived at the airport to the understanding that the planes are overbooked, so your OK is changed to "RQ" (request) and asked to come back tomorrow. If you paid bribes, you'd get aboard to realize the plane wasn't even half full!

This "come and check tomorrow" could repeat until you paid bribes. Meanwhile, family and friends of Ghana Airways workers traveled for free. Didn't Richard Anane use Ghana Airways's $100,000 on his girlfriend in the US.

The average Ghanaian is congenitally wicked. We can't manage anything.

You can't even run a toilet much more an airline, leave it to the private sector.

If government doesn't have money for a national carrier, why even talk about it? I thought we had more pressing problems. Where is the urgency, if not for prestige?

The idea of a national airline is laudable. We pay so much in dollars to Foreign Airlines. We cannot stabilise the cedi for a better economy if we continue on that path. We should contact Japan Airlines, Canada Airlines and Saudia Airlines to support us. We can also float shares domestically for individuals and corporate Ghana. Big wigs like Dangote,Bola Tinubu could be iinvited. If we could aquire initial 3 craft. One for Europe, another for North America and one for Asia. We should take advantage of Saudi 2030.Jeddah,Dubai and Mumbai. Saudi has quality goods but lack of direct fl

Is good we also aquire some Cargo planes for quick delivery of our essential imports exports. Passenger Flights alone can be used for overloading baggage thereby endangering the weight of the plane. Initially 2 Cargo planes may be reasonable. Ghanaians travel a lot and import a lot.

There is something that Saudi Arabia would need from Ghana in Partnership. Land for Cultivation of Fruits and Tomatoes. They can set up Factories for the manufacture of Tomatoes Paste and Fruits Concentrates for Fruits Juice in the form of Freezone Enclips. Ghana has abundant arable Land in. the Volta Basin under our Traditional Authorities. This could bring Jobs to Ghanaians.

This should not be a priority for the government at this moment in time. Our economy is in shambles. Our financial situation is not great. Why not fix these issues before establishing a NATIONAL airline? We the people and the so called protocol nonsense led to the collapse of Ghana airways. It had 1 aircraft and over 4000 employees. How sad. FIX GHANA FIRST BEFORE ADDING ALL THE OTHERS. PERIOD.

The corruptible minds of Ghanaians especially the politicians will not let any establishment to function and flourish in Ghana.Politics in Ghana simply means to steal and loot if you you are voted to govern to rule the country everything in the country belongs to the party which wins the election.The country is deteriorating economically the existing companies are dysfunctional Railways, Air transport, ECG, If the politicians are stealing government money to do investments in diaspora do you expect investors to do what once they are aware what the politicians are running the affairs of the country. When the NDC comes to power they will make to sure to collapse the businesses of the NPP and the NPP will do likewise..They do all those things for a political scores and to the detriment and doom and making the situation unbearable for the poor and vulnerable in the country..The politicians are the problems of Ghana.They are corrupt fraudulent and dishonest Everything in Ghana is on the verge of collapse and if a country is politically divided then definitely that country will suffer a decline and it will not attract investors.If Ghana Airways is restored there is still going to be loot and share and it will collapse again. No Ghanaian has love for the country.

Mr Minster, you have no business to be the leader where you are, if you cannot bring back our cherished Ghana Airways without partnering others, it is a shame. Get out of that office immediately you have no idea to be in Aviation. Shame. We had our own Airlines some years back without partners and it was very smooth, but what happened, the political thieves, have sold all. Sad day for Mother Ghana.

The case of not being positive towards growing our destination. Why don't you form partnerships with other West-African countries who are also facing similar decline in their airlines industry and aspire to engage in partnerships with other African governments. We can do same with railways and 3 lane roads to make it easier for trade.

GOG needs to advertise widely that it needs a partner to form a new airline and choose the best partner that must be a well organized airline in the world. A partnership with Lufthansa or KLM could be good.
