Stranded passengers at the Kotoka International Airport

Hundreds of air travellers stranded as Airport staff strike hits hard
Domestic air travellers are stranded at the
various airports in the country following the
withdrawal of services by the staff of the Ghana
Airport Company Limited (GACL).

Travellers to various destinations in the country
including Tamale, Kumasi and Takoradi are
currently stranded at the airports with no hope in
sight for them to embark on their trips.

The situation has resulted in some persons
resorting to the only alternative which is
traveling by road to their destinations in order
to enable them catch up with some important
meetings.

A visit to the domestic lounge of the Kotoka
International Airport (KIA) by MyNewsGh.com saw
hundreds of passengers loitering around hoping for
a miracle.



Staff of the company are protesting against the
Managing Director Mr Yaw Kwakwa who they said is
being shielded from mismanagement and
impropriety.

According to a statement directed to staff of the
Airport, they are withdrawing their services on
February 26 until further notice.

They say the strike has become important because
the Board of the Airport want to “shelve the
report of an investigative committee comprising
the Ministry of Aviation, the Board, Senior
Management, and the Public Services Workers Union
which confirms the allegations of mismanagement
and abuse of office levelled against the Managing
Director, Mr Yaw Kwakwa”
