Africa World Airline (AWA), a Ghanaian airline company, has lauded President John Dramani Mahama’s vision to make Ho Airport a first-class training hub for pilots.
Earlier this year, President Mahama announced that the government plans to use Ho Airport as a premier Pilot Training Centre in West Africa.
According to the president, this initiative will create opportunities for young Ghanaians aspiring to become pilots, allowing them to realize their dreams.
In response to this development, Mr. Jonathan K. Appiah, Head of Commercial at Africa World Airline (AWA), praised President Mahama for his government’s decision, noting that it would benefit young people and provide them with employment opportunities.
“What President Mahama proposed aligns with what our founder advocated some time ago. Once realized, this opportunity will increase the number of pilots in the country, something Africa World Airline has championed for years,” Mr. Appiah said.
“This is great news, as young people aspiring to become pilots will now have the chance to pursue their dreams. The training of pilots is an emerging business and trade on the African continent,” he added.
Mr. Jonathan K. Appiah made this statement in Kumasi during an award ceremony organized by Africa World Airline, where the company recognized travel and tour agents who work with the airline.
The awards ceremony honored three companies: Shedike Premium Services, AutoMart Professional Air Transport Care, and Padafair.
Africa World Airline also engaged with these travel agents to discuss key initiatives that can help them grow their businesses into multinational corporations.
