The Government of Ghana has officially launched a process to attract strategic investors for the establishment of a new national airline, signaling a renewed push to position the country as a major aviation hub in West Africa.

In a press release issued on April 28, 2026 and copied to Business Week Ghana, the Ministry of Transport Ghana announced that a dedicated task force has begun engaging potential partners through a structured selection process aimed at identifying a qualified strategic investor.

The proposed national carrier is expected to operate from Accra and serve as a hub for both regional and intercontinental travel, with a focus on commercial viability, global competitiveness, and long-term sustainability.

Transport Minister Joseph Bukari Nikpe emphasized the government’s commitment to transparency and competitiveness in the selection process.

The Government of Ghana looks forward to engaging credible proponents for this initiative,” he stated.

According to the Ministry, interested partners must be established airline operators, subsidiaries, or authorized consortia with proven expertise in airline management, route development, and regulatory compliance. Additionally, prospective investors are expected to demonstrate strong financial capacity and present viable business strategies aligned with the government’s vision.

The selected strategic partner will hold a majority equity stake in the new airline, which is expected to operate a full-service long-haul network to destinations in Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia, alongside regional routes designed to enhance connectivity and offer competitive fares.

The airline will also include an integrated cargo division to support trade and logistics, as well as a phased fleet acquisition plan targeting initial operations by the first quarter of 2027.

The proposed National Airline shall be developed as a commercially viable, internationally competitive and sustainable carrier,” the Ministry noted.

The engagement process will involve three rounds of interaction with shortlisted investors, culminating in the selection of a preferred partner.

Interested parties have until May 29, 2026, to submit proposals to the task force under the Ministry of Transport.
