Boeing has projected that Ghana’s national airline could return to the skies within 18 months, provided the government puts in place the necessary structures and implementation arrangements.
The indication was given during discussions between President John Dramani Mahama and senior executives of the global aerospace company in New York on the sidelines of the 81st United Nations General Assembly.
Boeing expressed readiness to support Ghana’s efforts to revive the national carrier and indicated that the 18-month timeline could be achievable if the required groundwork is completed.
He added that the government was seeking international partners willing to invest in Ghana, support capacity building and participate in the country’s economic transformation agenda.
A key proposal under the discussions is the establishment of a Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) hub in Ghana to provide services to airlines operating across West Africa and other parts of the continent.
The proposed partnership is also expected to cover aviation training, skills development and technology transfer, with the government seeking to create more high-value employment opportunities for young Ghanaians.
The initiative forms part of the government’s broader Reset Ghana agenda, which seeks to attract strategic investments and position Ghana as a regional hub for aviation, trade and logistics.
While Boeing’s projection provides an indicative 18-month timeframe for the return of a national airline, the actual timeline will depend on the government’s ability to establish the required structures and complete the implementation arrangements.
