Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
McDan Group of Companies’ new wing McDan Aviation last Friday launched the country’s first private jet charter services at the Domestic Wing of the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) in Accra.
The ultra-modern jet lounge, which could rival its international counterpart, was opened to the public in a colourful ceremony at Terminal 1 of the KIA.
Daniel McKorley, the CEO and Executive Chairman of the McDan Group of Companies, said the launch marks the start of more significant achievements in the country’s aviation industry.
Speaking during the launch, he was elated this plan had come to fruition.
The goal behind this private jet lounge is to position the country’s aviation industry amongst the best in the world. The lounge is not for McDan rather, it is for the business community and top-class executives, and this is one of the places we can be recognised amongst the leading countries when it comes to aviation,” he said.
He said the private jet lounge is a potential boost for the country’s tourism industry.
McDan Aviation, after acquiring a Fixed-Base Operator (FBO) license from the Ghana Airport Company Limited (GACL), will kickstart its commercial private jet services with three aeroplanes and one helicopter.
McDan Aviation now caters for full ground handling services at KIA Terminal 1.
This includes general aviation operations, aircraft service operations, aircraft airframe and engine repairs (maintenance) and aircraft rentals.
