Ghana is working to identify an investor for a new national airline, inviting potential strategic partners to engage with the West African country, which has not had a functional carrier for more than two decades.

The government has launched a market-sounding process to attract experienced airline operators or aviation investors to help establish a commercially viable, internationally competitive carrier based in Accra.

Authorities envision the city as a regional and intercontinental hub for passenger and cargo services, with the selected partner expected to take a majority stake, signalling a shift toward private-sector leadership.

Officials said the airline could begin operations by early 2027.
