Domestic Airline Operators have described as disrespectful, the unannounced closure of the Kumasi Airport by the Ghana Airport Company.
According to a statement signed by the Chief Executive of Starbow, Eric Antwi, the closure has cost them a lot of business as they were not aware of it hence their inability to inform their passengers.
Below is the full statement
We, the Domestic Airline Operators will like to register our utter displeasure at the unannounced morning closure of the Kumasi airport which started on Friday 17th October, 2014 up till today.
As stakeholders, we deserve some respect and notification before such move is initiated by your outfit. As you are aware, the effect of these unannounced closures has caused our operations greatly. Since we were not informed about these closures, we were unable to inform our passengers. This has caused a lot of inconvenience to our passengers especially some who are connecting flights from Accra, Ghana.
We are therefore using this medium to appeal and apologize to our esteemed passengers for this unfortunate situation which is not our making but the negligence of Ghana Airport Company Limited.
