The management of the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) has described fresh agitations over the alleged sale of the Kotoka International Airport as unfortunate and a surprise considering the fact that stakeholders including workers have consistently been engaged in ongoing discussions.
A statement issued by GACL on Wednesday, July 8, 2020 following renewed unrest among the workers said the company has always maintained a cordial working relationship with its stakeholders including the Divisional Union.

The Minister of Aviation, Joseph Kofi Adda, also in a statement denied the allegation and assured the general public that his outfit and its stakeholders were considering a proposed Strategic Partnership arrangement to improve service delivery and expansion of infrastructure at KIA to achieve government’s vision of making Ghana the Aviation Hub within the West African Sub-Region.
