AWA-flight
Africa World Airlines (AWA) in a statement released earlier has announced that, by June, it will publicize schedules for the begining of commercial flights to Ho in the Volta Region.
By the activities and measures being put in place, the company expects to finalize the necessary operationalization processes before the proposed date.
This announcement comes after the company had a successful flight demonstration to Ho airport last Thursday.
Authorities of AWA in a statement said that “The process of establishing this new route and providing the required personnel and logistics is expected to be completed by the middle of June 2021 at which time a commercial schedule would have been released.”
“It is after this that the Airline expects to operate the first commercial flight,” they added.
Earlier this year, in a report brought forth, the company pegged the cost of a flight to the Ho Airport at Ghc 99 and has thus reiterated its commitment to enhancing domestic travel in Ghana.
“The demonstration flight provided vital technical data regarding jet aircraft operation into Ho airport as well as testing the joint capabilities of service providers and state authorities in the region, in order to establish acceptable safety standards for commercial operation,” the statement made it clear..
The Airline, in its statement also thanked the chiefs and people of Asogli for their warm reception and outstanding hospitality so far.
Before the demonstration flight was exhibited, industry players made it loud that, news circulating around the landing of Africa World Airline’s commercial airbus at the Ho airport will present tremendous opportunities for the local economy and also enhance tourism in the region.
With the region noted for its cleanliness and rich tourism potential, the tourism authority in the Volta Region says it has begun preparing tourist centres to be able to receive the anticipated increased number of visitors.
The commercial flight, when operationalized, will cut travel time between Ho and Accra from three hours by road to about 30 minutes by air.
