The McDan Group of Companies' management says it is dedicated to a discussion to address the problems that led to the closure of its terminal at Accra's Kotoka International Airport.
"However, we are still dedicated to having a positive conversation in order to reach a satisfactory conclusion," the business said.
The Ghana Airport firm Limited's (GACL) decision to close its private jet terminal at the airport also caused the private aviation firm to express its displeasure.
"McDan Aviation is disappointed by the Ghana Airport Company Limited's recent decision to deny access to our terminal," the firm said in a press release after GACL shut it down.
Due to an unpaid debt of $3 million, GACL closed McDan's terminal on Monday, December 30.
Although the business admitted to its financial obligations, it claimed that these matters had not been aggressively addressed.
"We made an additional payment last week with the plan to continue payments from January 2025," McDan added.
Kwaku Ampromfi, the CEO of McDan, signed the statement, which made it clear that the business does not owe GACL the $3 million that was reported.
However, it's crucial to remember that, contrary to what has been falsely claimed, McDan Aviation does not owe GACL $3,000,000.00 for the terminal, the statement said.
The business went on to say that GACL is aware of the land litigation issue it is now participating in. According to McDan, GACL has been informed of this problem and has been asked to halt payments until the legal matter is settled.
The first and only freight company in Ghana to be granted an air carrier license for flights carrying chartered cargo is McDan Aviation Hub. In addition to having a Fixed Base Operations (FBO) license for private jet operations at Kotoka International Airport's Terminal 1, it is currently a general sales agent (GSA) for multiple airlines.
