A former Ambassador to the United States and Mexico under former President Rawlings’ regime, Ekwow Spio-Garbrah has accused the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) of killing the Ghana Airways.
According to him, the NPP did not only kill the national airlines, but also sold the headquarters, bungalows and lands that belong to the Ghana Airways.
He said the John Kufuor-led NPP government was not satisfied and later sold the landing rights in some other countries.
“A country without an airline; not one. NPP killed Ghana airways. They didn’t just kill it by making the airline not run, they sold its headquarters which is in Airport residential, they sold all their bungalows and all their lands, they sold the landing rights of a Ghanaian airline landing in Rome, New York, Legos and Johannesburg,” he alleged.
The former Trade and Industry Minister who was speaking to Paul Adom Otchere on Good Evening Ghana said, if the country tries to start a new airline today there is no landing rights to schedule a landing or departure in other countries.
He also said since the country lacks a national airline, there was no need for the Aviation Ministry.

Spio stop this old silly politics because it will win you any votes but rather let you lose votes. We are tired of all these silly politics about tribes etc. Do you have any current and relevant ideas?
For 8 years that NDC was in power what did you guys do about Ghana Airways? Why did you not resurrect it? These NDC cr!m!nals should never rule our country again.... They are all dev!l!sh.....
I thought he was the only genuine guy in NDC but his utterances now has proving that he is far from being genuine. He has to check his fact right.Because you want to lead NDC you have started behaving like a serial caller.The way you have started behaving will rather kill your political ambition. Ghanaian voter is now discerning.Now it's about what you can do and nothing else.That's the problem of NDC. When Nana Addo was talking about the things he want to do for Ghanaians,the NDC were saying he cannot do it.The path this man has taken will just clash his political carrier simple.
Yes, after NDC killed over 300 ghana companies built by nkrumah and making ghana Airways loose its value in the 90's. Get your facts right and stop talking like a foot soldier
