McDan Aviation Limited, Ghana’s first indigenous provider of Fixed Base Operator (FBO) services, has accused the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) of attempting to unlawfully seize its private jet terminal at Kotoka International Airport.
In a statement issued by company management, McDan Aviation said GACL’s actions “constitute an attempt to collapse its business” and disregard judicial processes. The company operates Ghana’s first private FBO terminal at Terminal 1 under a license agreement signed in August 2022, which McDan Aviation says has helped elevate Ghana as a premium aviation hub.
The firm acknowledged a brief delay in rent payments due to operational challenges amid the global business climate, but stated that all arrears have since been settled. McDan Aviation insisted that the short delay does not constitute a fundamental breach of contract.
The company claims that GACL failed to adhere to the terms of their agreement, which require a 90-day notice before eviction. McDan Aviation alleges that despite being served with a court injunction on March 10, 2026, GACL officials forcibly entered the terminal at approximately 1:00 a.m. on March 11, removing company equipment and property.
“This action was taken in clear and deliberate defiance of the injunctive process,” the company said, describing GACL’s conduct as both a breach of contract and contempt for the rule of law.
McDan Aviation confirmed it is pursuing all available legal remedies to protect its investment and business rights.
The company also emphasised its commitment to national development and the advancement of Ghana’s aviation sector, urging stakeholders to uphold the rule of law and support homegrown enterprises that contribute to the country’s global competitiveness.
No response from GACL was immediately available at the time of publication.
