The Ministry of Aviation has denied allegations that the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) has been put up for sale.

A statement signed by the sector Minister Joseph Kofi Adda and copied to GhanaWeb read, “The Ministry of Aviation wishes to unequivocally inform the general public and the good people of Ghana that the Kotoka International Airport is not for sale and no such deal has ever been conceived by the government of Ghana.”

According to the Minister, what is actually being “considered for deliberation” by his outfit and its stakeholders including the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) is a proposed Strategic Partnership Arrangement between GACL and TAV-SUMMA Consortium to improve service delivery and expansion of infrastructure at the KIA to achieve government’s vision of making Ghana the Aviation Hub within the West African Sub-Region.

On the back of this, Kofi Adda thus urged the public to disregard the “the false information” on the sale of the country’s premiere airport being circulated in the media and other platforms.

He described it as the work of mischievous and malicious elements to pitch the staff of GACL and the general public against government.
