Ghana’s Ambassador to the United States, Victor Smith, says negotiations with Boeing over the establishment of a national airline are nearing completion. Speaking in an interview on JoyNews, Mr Smith said the government was working to finalise arrangements to revive the national carrier, with efforts also underway to attract investors to the project. “We are looking for investors. They may invest in this effort. They may get something out of it. What is important for me is the legacy that the President will leave when he's leaving office—that we will have a national flag back in the air. That is important for me,” he said. Mr Smith said there was considerable public interest in the return of a national airline, arguing that many Ghanaians would welcome the opportunity to travel with a carrier bearing the country’s flag.
