Some domestic airlines have begun flight operations to all airports except the Tamale airport following an improvement in visibility.
Poor visibility compelled domestic airlines to ground flights for almost a week.
Although the situation is not completely stable, the Chief Operating Officer of Africa World Airlines, Captain Samuel Thompson said the company is set to for three flights to Kumasi.
“There is a marked improvement in the visibility so we are monitoring the 11 o’clock weather but we have started taking passengers for to Kumasi. Tamale is still not good enough hopefully we should be able to do the last three flights that is 12:30, 3 o’clock and 6:45,” he said.
“The Chief Executive of Starbow, James Eric Antwi also stated, “We are yet to start but we are looking at going to Takoradi and Kumasi late afternoon we operating to Kumasi is around 4 pm. We have sent messages to our clients that those who want to travel to any of these areas to come.”
Flights to Tamale still cancelled
Meanwhile flights to Tamale are still on hold as the weather condition is not favorable.
“We need to get a much better visibility than we are getting now. Tamale is at 2,500 meters which is below our limit of 4,000 meters so we need a marked improvement in Tamale before we can go,” Captain Samuel Thompson noted.
