The Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) has shut down the McDan Aviation Private Jet Terminal at Kotoka International Airport (KIA) due to an outstanding debt reportedly exceeding $3 million.
The debt, according to sources, includes unpaid land leases, rentals, and terminal charges accumulated over time.
This marks the second shutdown of McDan Aviation’s terminal, with the first occurring in February 2022 over operational breaches.
Speaking on the matter, Alhaji Abdul Issaka Bamba, Chairman of the GACL Divisional Union of the Public Services Workers Union, expressed support for the closure, stating, “The outstanding debt is long overdue, and we cannot allow it to continue.”
Reports suggest that police officers have been deployed to secure the terminal and restrict access.
McDan Aviation, which launched its private jet services in January 2022, has faced ongoing scrutiny, including a boycott of its launch event by key stakeholders, citing concerns over compliance and operational practices.
