Hey there, what is so much about this whining? If you can't compete please just pack and leave no one else is holding you up. Beside, after all, it is all about free market. You can't create monopoly ok. Long before your "wretched" old Russians-made planes we were traveling. We will travel on the horse back if we have to. Damn it!!

The former CEO of Starbow, Dr. Brock, expressed the same sentiments several times and had to leave Ghana to join a Canadian airline. Maybe, the government should start listening. The issue is not about free market but excessive cost of doing business due to excessive taxes and levies of all kinds. Instead of the government widening the tax net, it preys on the few businesses in town.

With new shuttle aircraft, good customer services, and others Mr.Banda and his Antrack will survive with excessive profit margin. Antrack does not need advertisement to market itself. They are already known. So Ajit whatever you are saying really irrelevant at this point. Who wants to board a plane the drops height in the middle of sky or catches fire in the middle of sky. If the services are good people will potentially pay any ticket price to board.

Nana,of-course I wouldn't dare advise anyone to fly with an airline whose planes catch fire mid-air, however people should re-consider their excessive Patronage of the chinese Airlines.I strongly suspect the chinese government of intentionally and systematically subsidising these airlines till other competitors are driven out of the market.When they gain the Monopoly over the sector then we will see how the prices will spiral up to uninmaginable heights!!!

Hey Abroampah, do we have any Chinese airline in Ghana? I am aware AWA has Chinese partners but the airline belongs to a Ghanaian. SSNIT is also a shareholder in that airline. Please speak from facts!

The only few businesses in Ghana are taxed and levied to the hilt. This trend will surely drive away these businesses very soon - all sectors of the economy.

This is a wholly owned Ghanaian airline so I think the Government should help him aquire new planes as an incentive to boost his morale. We should encourage Ghanaians to progress.

He was all praise for Atta Mills and this government and now he is complaining when they greedily giving everything to the Chinese? It is an infant industry so they should just have no more than 3 airlines. The US with all the millions of travelers have only 4 major airlines for domestic flights. With fewer airlines each airline will carry more passengers and therefore be able to reduce their fares and that will encourage more people to fly. As there are more flights they will demand more supply of airline fuel and that will drive down the price of the fuel.

US has 4 Major Airlines for domestic flights? Hmmmmmmmmmmm. How about the hundreds or thousands of domestic airline companies?

And the passengers will start to come back to you.At the moment, your outmoded flying coffins deter and scare people from flying in your planes. So modernise and we will come back.

Conservative estimates put the cost of the renovation and expansion works at about 58millionGHC, and how much did the Mills-Mahama-Amissah Arthur administration give to Alfred Agbesi Woyome under fraudulent and dubious judgment debt? Is it any wonder that, Ghana is retrogressing under the global competitiveness index, whilst gov't spin machinery talks about bigoted tribal sentiments in the midst of such rot and malfeasance? Governance has gone to the dogs and Ghana is suffering from it profusely.

ALHAJI DON'T CRY. YOU KEPT ON PRAISING THIS GOVERNMENT INSTEAD OF TELLING THEM IN THE FACE OF MEDIOCRE PERFORMANCE. I LEARNT THERE ARE MAN HOLES ON THE RUN WAY OF KUMASI AIRPORT. WHAT A SHAME!! YOU PEOPLE IN THE HELM OF AFFAIRS SHOULD DECIPHER BETWEEN MEDIOCRITY OF THE GOVERNMENT AND GOOD PERFORMANCE.

ALHAJI DO NOT PULL OUT YET. STAY IN THE COUNTRY AND RUN THE FLYING COFFINS.

EUROPE AND THE AMERICAS DEVELOPED BECAUSE THEY DO NOT GIVE GARGANTUAN MONIES TO SELECTED FEW AS JUDGEMENT DEBTS. ALL THESE THINGS ARE HAPPENING YET YOU PEOPLE KEPT MUTE!!!!! DO NOT CRY YET. STAY WITH THE MEDIOCRE GOVERNMENT.

ALHAJI, WHY ARE YOU AVERSE TO COMPETITION. YOU WANT TO CONTROL EVERY GOVERNMENT AND IF YOU DO NOT HAVE YOUR WAY, YOU TURN YOURSELF INTO AN ENEMY. YOU DID IT TO KUFFOUR AND YOU ARE NOW TURNING AGAINST PRESIDENT MAHAMA WHOM YOU CALL YOUR SON. THE FACT IS CHANGE YOUR FLYING COFFINS OR GET OUT OF GHANA.

He was used ta monopoly situation when his airline ruled the Ghanaian skies. He persisted with his propeller planes. The competitors have brought in planes with jet engines. His "toy" planes cannot compete. Rather than innovate to survive, he kept blaming others for his lack of foresight. He can relocate, but to where - with his propeller planes?

....."So I will go somewhere else. I have been thinking very seriously about relocating. I love Ghana but I cannot love the country more than my business,” he added.

ALHAJI BANDA IS COUNCIL OF STATE MEMBER. SOME PEOPLE, WITH AS MUCH MONEY AS ALHAJI ASUMA BANDA, WILL SERVE THEIR NATION AND ENJOY THE ACOLADE, EVEN IF IT MEANT LOOSING MONEY.

SO IT IS ALL ABOUT MONEY, ALHAJI?

AS A COUNCIL OF STATE MEMBER (A VERY PRIVILEGED POSITION), YOU HAVE THE PLATFORM TO ADVISE THE GOVERNMENT ON YOUR CONCERNS.
