GCAA Warns Gold Star, Global Ghana Airlines To Halt Operations

The Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) has warned Goldstar Airline and Global Ghana Airlines against starting commercial operations since they have not yet been given approval to do so.

The GCAA issued the warning after it said it came to its attention that: “Goldstar Airline has advertised flight operations from Accra, Ghana to destinations within Africa and other parts of the world,” while Chicago-based Global Ghana Airlines also “advertised flight operations between Accra, Ghana and Chicago, USA.”

Director-General of the GCAA Simon Allotey said in a statement that the two “advertisements are misleading and the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority takes a very serious view of this.”

The GCAA has, thus, advised the general public “not to conduct any business with these companies, as they do not have the necessary approvals from the GCAA to commence such air operations.”

The GCAA said it will abide by its mandate in ensuring that stakeholders in the aviation industry in Ghana conduct their air transportation business in a safe and secure manner in accordance with national laws, GCAA regulations, international standards and recommended best practice.
