The scrapping of the Ministry of Aviation (MoA) after four years of serving as the government’s special-purpose ministry as far as specific policy development to enhance growth of the sector is concerned has generated divided opinion among stakeholders.
While some maintain that the move was a step in the right direction that would help save the government s purse and also facilitate a holistic transport agenda with all the sub-sectors, others totally disagree, saying that air travel and its related industries needed a dedicated ministry to drive its growth.

Last Thursday (January 21), President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo submitted to Parliament a list of proposed ministers and regional ministers for his second term in office.

An Aviation Expert, Capt Victor Kwesi Amoah, has called on the government to invest in the construction and development of state-of-the-art airports across the country to help transform the economy.
Instead of venturing into an airline business, he said the government should rather channel its resources into the construction of modern airports across the 16 regions in the country.
That, he said, would be a significant step to double the country’s economy through increase in revenue generation, job creation and increase in tourism.
