McDan Aviation, a subsidiary of the McDan Group, has expressed disappointment over the decision by the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) to restrict access to its aviation terminal.

The company, in a statement issued by its CEO, Kwaku Ampronfi, described the move as unexpected, particularly as discussions to resolve related issues are ongoing.

The company acknowledged its financial obligations concerning the operation of the Fixed Base Operator (FBO) terminal and noted that it has made significant payments in the past.

Additionally, McDan Aviation reported that a payment was made last week, with plans to resume further payments in January 2025. The company  however, refuted claims that it owes GACL $3 million for the terminal, describing such reports as erroneous.

The statement also highlighted a separate legal dispute involving a parcel of land acquired from GACL, which is currently under litigation due to claims from a third party. McDan Aviation stated that it had informed GACL that payments related to this parcel would be withheld until the court proceedings are resolved.

"It is regrettable that GACL has chosen to take this line of action, particularly when the matters at hand are not interconnected," said Mr Ampronfi.

Despite the challenges, McDan Aviation reaffirmed its commitment to constructive engagement with GACL to reach an amicable resolution.
