Ghana International Airlines (GIA) is the national airline of the Republic of Ghana. It operates scheduled and charter passenger and cargo services. Its main base is Kotoka International Airport, Accra.[1]
[edit] HistoryThe airline was set up in 2004 as a partnership between the Government of Ghana and a group of private international investors. A team of executives led by Ralph Atkin, founder of SkyWest Airlines in the United States was installed, which also included Brian Presbury, the former CEO of Kenya Airways. Ghana International Airlines commenced operations on 29 October 2005 with daily flights between Accra and London Gatwick Airport using a Boeing 757 wet leased from Ryan International Airlines. The airline commenced seasonal service to OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, South Africa in 2006. Flights to Düsseldorf, Germany began in 2008. It is owned by the Ghanaian government (70%) and US consortium (GIA-USA) (30%), but the shareholders have been engaged in a protracted legal dispute since 2006 [2]. The Government has recently indicated its intention to recapitalise and restructure the airline with the assistance of new partners[3]. The airline has 168 employees (at March 2008).
