Ghana said late Tuesday it was seeking a strategic partner to help establish a new national airline, opening the door to private investors in a sector the country has struggled to rebuild for years. The transport ministry said it had begun market sounding to identify qualified airline operators or aviation investors.
The proposed carrier would be based in Accra, which the government wants to develop into a regional and intercontinental hub for both passenger and cargo traffic. Authorities said the airline is meant to be commercially viable and internationally competitive.
Under the plan, the strategic partner would hold a majority equity stake in the joint venture. That marks a clear shift away from state control and toward private-sector leadership.
The ministry said potential partners must already have airline operations expertise, a strong regulatory compliance record and the financial capacity to support fleet acquisition and route expansion. The new carrier is expected to operate long-haul flights to Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia, alongside regional routes and cargo services.
Officials did not give a launch date, but said the airline should begin acquiring or deploying equipment in the short term, with initial operations targeted for no later than the first quarter of 2027. Ghana has not had a fully functioning national airline since Ghana Airways collapsed in 2004.
