ACCRA, Ghana – A former Managing Director of Ghana Airways, Air Commodore Kwame K. Pumpuni has called on the government to conduct thorough feasibility studies before taking steps to acquire a national carrier. Ghana has for some time now been considering the acquisition of a national airline to help boost the country’s image in the aviation sector. The Deputy Minister of Transport, Bawa-Mogtari told Joy News a few days ago that the National Airline will start operation by September 2015. She was optimistic the new airline would, unlike the defunct Ghana Airways and the Ghana International Airlines, succeed, arguing the quest to ensure it becomes a success is the reason government is treading cautiously.
