Youth Employment Agency (YEA) CEO Malik Basintale has been dragged online for suggesting that President John Mahama had fulfilled his promise of establishing a national carrier for Ghana.
On Tuesday, May 5, 2026, a newly acquired Boeing 737-400 freighter belonging to Air Ghana, a privately owned cargo airline headquartered at the Ghana Airport Cargo Centre in Accra, with its main hub at Accra International Airport, arrived in Ghana.
The Ministry of Transport confirmed the development, describing it as a significant boost to the country’s air cargo capacity. The ministry’s Facebook page shared photos of the new plane
Air Ghana’s Chief Executive Officer, Karim Traboulsi, said the aircraft will improve delivery timelines, reduce logistical bottlenecks, and strengthen Ghana’s position as a regional cargo hub.
The acquisition forms part of the company’s broader strategy to expand cargo operations and facilitate trade within Ghana and across West Africa.
