Accra August 12, GNA - The Management of Ghana Airways is making every effort to lease an aircraft to transport stranded passengers on its European routes, Mr Sam Bannerman Bruce, Public Affairs Manager, has said.

He told the GNA that the problem of the stranded passengers arose basically because the Airline has few aircraft, hence when one developed a fault none was readily available to replace it.

Passengers who were scheduled to have travelled on Ghana Airways from Accra to various destinations in Europe have been at the Kotoka Airport since Friday.

Others who were to come in have also been stranded at London, Dusseldorf and Humburg due to airline unavailability to transport them. The only DC 10 aircraft developed a fault hence the problem; however, it has now been fixed and started operating on Monday.
