Letter From The President: Ghana Airways, Again?

Countrymen and women, loyalists and opponents
I know that the issue of Ghana Airways has become a little too boring for you (journalists say it has been over-flogged) but I want you to bear me out and endure this piece I am about to write about the airline. You know as well as I do that the scope of the crisis in the airline is impossible to exaggerate. I am therefore not in any mood to beat about the bush and I will jump straight to the nitty-gritty of the matter.

I get so angry when I hear people grumbling, complaining and whining after their flights on Ghana Airways have been either cancelled or rescheduled. I do not understand why people still travel on Ghana Airways. The fact that people still like to travel on that airline sometimes confirms my belief that the people of Sikaman like cheap, mediocre things. The quality of service on the airline is nothing, if not sub-standard. Flight delays are rampant and the airlines aircraft are like ?trotros? in the sky.
