No proposal to give KIA to private manager- Aviation Minister

Minister of Aviation, Mr Joseph Kofi Adda

The Minister of Aviation, Mr Joseph Kofi Adda, has denied knowledge of any proposal by his outfit to cede the management of the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) to a private company.

However, he said his office was open for discussions that will help improve the asset of the country’s premier airport and other state facilities.

“First of all, I have not seen anything credible on the supposed privatisation of KIA, until I see that there is little I can say about it,” Mr Adda told the media at a breakfast meeting by Aviation Ghana on April 16 in Accra.

The Minister was responding to a story circulating in the media space which quoted a draft memo to Cabinet suggesting the Ministry of Aviation intend to cede the management of KIA to a private company, Tav Airport Holding Company limited.

But, Mr Adda denied knowledge of such move by his ministry saying, “at the moment there is nothing like that on the table”.
