Roads and Transport Committee to summon sector minister over aircraft brouhaha- MP hints
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The Ranking Member of Ghana’s Roads and Transport Parliamentary Committee, Kennedy Nyarko Osei has announced plans to summon the Minister of Transport, Joseph Bukari Nikpe, to provide detailed information regarding two aircraft that recently landed at Kotoka International Airport under suspicious circumstances.

This announcement, made via a Facebook post, underscores growing concerns over the nature and purpose of these flights.

The Ranking Member emphasized the committee’s responsibility to seek transparency and accountability in matters related to national aviation.

He stated, “The Ghanaian people must know the truth surrounding these two suspicious aircraft that landed in the country.”

The committee however wish to seeks clarification on why the Director-General of the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) was dismissed shortly after these incidents became public.

This, they believe raises suspicions about potential government involvement or attempts to suppress information.

The committee has outlined a comprehensive list of 26 questions for the Minister to address. These are:

  1. What was the exact manifest of passengers on board the Cavok Air private jet that delivered supposed supplies and the AirMed Flight?
  2. What was the purpose of their travel to or from Ghana?
  3. What was the filed flight plan for N823AM?
  4. Were there any changes to the flight plan mid-journey, and if so, why?
  5. can we get aviation experts to corraborate the information put out that they made stops for refueling?
  6. What specific maintenance was needed that engineers in Ghana couldn’t solve and they had to fly a private jet to bring people to fix?
  7. Were there any declared emergencies or technical issues before the story came out?
  8. What was the exact nature of the spare parts being transported?
  9. Were these parts declared in the cargo manifest?
  10. Why was it necessary to use an aircraft of this type to transport spare parts?
  11. Were there any special handling or customs procedures involved with these parts?
  12. couldn’t they have gotten some of the parts in Ghana?
  13. What type of maintenance was performed, and where exactly was it carried out?
  14. which hangar at the airport was this maintenance carried out?
  15. Who authorized and conducted the maintenance?
  16. Can maintenance logs be provided to verify the claim?
  17. How long was the aircraft on the ground in Ghana?
  18. Were there any unusual flight patterns or deviations from the standard route?
  19. What communications occurred between the flight crew and air traffic control during the flight?
  20. Can ADS-B or radar data be provided to corroborate the aircraft’s movements?
  21. Were there any special clearances or permissions granted for this flight?
  22. What was the total flight time, and does it correspond with the claimed route and stops?
  23. After departure from Ghana, where did it stop?
  24. what is the flying hours of this particular aircraft and refueling interval?
  25. did they just fly 2900 km distance to Ghana, only to refuel, fix their plane and return to their initial origin?
  26. why was the Director General of GCAA sacked just 2 days ago after this issue became public?
  27. Is it because he decided not to cover up for the government?

Context of Suspicious Flights
The two aircraft in question—a Cavok Air private jet and an AirMed flight—landed in March 2025. Reports indicate that one remained in Ghana for five days without transporting a patient, while the other departed on March 25.

The Minority in Parliament has raised concerns that these flights may have been linked to illicit activities such as drug trafficking or money laundering.

President John Mahama has since directed a full-scale investigation into these flights, emphasizing transparency and accountability to safeguard Ghana’s aviation sector.
