    Ghana International still owes me over £3000. I bought tickets through one Mr Newman in London. He informed me over 4 years ago that he was waiting for the refund from Ministry of Transport. He has closed his office and run ...

    It's been proven that Ghanaians and Ghana governments can't administer sh1t. All companies set up by Nkrumah is dead now. Nothing remains. PNDC/NDC and NPP/Cronies have run all of them to the ground. We do not need another na ...

    I really can not understand what this writer is trying to carry across. If this company was registered under the USA laws it still does not mean it can not collapse. Does he have an idea how many companies are established in ...

    We pay money to Ghana International Airways for our tickets and we want our money back, period. I still have my £400 with them, others may be money.

    USA and UK are obliged to monitor all registered companies on their soils. Try registering a company in UK and see how the company house and the Inland revenue swarm you with documents. If it is a "doggy company", within a ye ...

    My wife is still waiting for her refund for the past 5 years. With 4 kids she paid over £500. It has been sweet words and empty promises. I was told that BNI was looking into the refund and nothing has been heard

    Future Airline that uses national flag and GHANA name to collect money form Ghanaians and other nationals has to be closely monitored. With Ghana International Airways case, there were clearly lapses in the control. The bank ...

    Sympathy wont pay my bills. I am a single parent and I want my money.

  • Agya Koo Ketewa 9 years ago

    We don't want this to be politics but we must demonstrate against Mahama's NDC government for the refund.

    The writer is damn right. Blacks can rob blacks easily but not whites. As an British I can say that my government does't care a toss about you blacks. ATOL protects whites not blacks. UK, USA and 0ther western cpontries look ...

    Why is Newman getting away with our money. His company, Circle travel was ATOL protected. So why did ATOL of UK civil Aviation refuse to pay and referred us to Ghana Government for our refunds. The whole thing looks fishy

  • Asomasi 9 years ago

    I wont touch any airline looking Ghanaish, smelling like Ghana and especially with the name Ghana. Nobody up there can be truted not even Mahama himself.

  • Akua 9 years ago

    I still can't understand why Mahama NDC gov wont give us our money. Can his spokesperson explain to us the passengers

  • Jessica 9 years ago

    Appeal to the First Lady Lordina - woman to woman - she my speak to Mahama in bed about you poor women losing money. JJ's wife Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings used to listen to women complains and help them out.

  • Kanawu 9 years ago

    Mahama should listen to these poor passengers' call for help. I think they are getting desperate. Who is the Minister for Transport? Put up your sleeves and do something. These disgruntled passengers will be tomorrow passenge ...

    UK/USA mustn't allow Ghana to operate another airline until all necessary controls have put in place and also all passengers claims had been fully settled
