President Akufo-Addo has terminated the appointment of the Managing Director of the Ghana Airports Company Limited Yaw Kwakwa.

The Minister of Transport, Kwaku Ofori Asiamah in a letter said the President gave the directive for the termination of his appointment.

Mr. Kwakwa was interacting with the press at the McDan terminal while the Transport Committee of Parliament was inspecting the facility when the news came in.

Although the letter did not state the reason for his dismissal, it is suspected could be as a result of the current McDan aviation tussle.

McDan Aviation announced the suspension of its private jet operations at Terminal 1 of the Kotoka International Airport to enable the management of the company to hold talks with the Ghana Airport Company Limited over contentions regarding operational procedures.

This was after the GACL, in a letter dated January 31, 2022, indefinitely barred McDan Aviation from operating its private jet services at the Terminal 1 of the Kotoka International Airport (KIA).
