Ethiopian To Partner Ghana In New National CarrierDecember 5, 2018Ethiopian Airlines will be Ghana’s strategic partner as the west African country looks to set up a new national airline. Accra has not had much success in running a national airline, with two high profile failures over the last couple of decades. Ghana Airways was the national carrier until it got into difficulties in 2004 with problems including a US DOT ban which prevented it flying to the United States. Ghana International Airlines was launched in 2005 as a replacement, but ceased trading in 2010 and the country has been without a national carrier since then, although private airlines have partly filled the gap it left. Ethiopian already partners two African countries, Zambia and Chad, in projects to establish new national airlines.
