ACCRA, 23 October 2009 – The management of Ghana International Airlines (GIA) writes in reference to the various media reports on Thursday, 22nd October 2009.

The Cabinet decision referred to in the media reports has given Ghana International Airlines the lifeline to become self-sustaining from January 2010. We are thankful to the Government for such a positive decision.

This lifeline implies that the airline can now seek strategic partners for capitalization and further development of the airline.

Since March this year when Government withdrew support raising uncertainty about the airlines’ future, GIA has continued to operate and has improved on its services.

Since the year 2008, we have been adjudged the number one longhaul airline at Kotoka International Airport in Accra for on-time performance with an 85% on-time record. 95% of our flights operate within one hour of schedule”. (Source: www.Flightstats.com)

Our other performance indicators such as load factor and baggage delivery have improved and are comparable to any major airline.

We wish to assure our valued patrons and the general public that the airline shall continue to guarantee provision of the services we promise to deliver.

Furthermore, management urges customers and the public alike to watch out for our Christmas promotional fares.

GHANA INTERNATIONAL AIRLINES EXPERIENCE IT ! ! BELIEVE IT ! ! !
