In a significant move, the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) has shut down the McDan Aviation Private Jet Terminal, also known as Terminal 1, due to an outstanding debt exceeding $3 million. The debt, which includes charges for land leases, rentals, and terminal usage fees, was not settled by McDan Aviation, prompting the shutdown.
Police officers have been stationed at the terminal’s entrance to prevent access following the shutdown. The move has received support from the Ghana Airport Company Divisional Union of the Public Services Workers Union of TUC, with union leaders emphasizing the need for businesses to meet their financial obligations.
Alhaji Abdul Issaka Bamba, chairman of the union, told GHOne/Starr News that the debt payment was long overdue and warned that other partners with similar financial issues might face similar actions.
This marks the second shutdown for McDan Aviation. In February 2022, GACL also barred the company from operating its private jet services at Terminal 1 of Kotoka International Airport (KIA) due to non-compliance with operational requirements.
