Delivering an address at the just-ended 5th AviationGhana Breakfast Meeting in Accra, Madam Baah stressed that sustained dialogue between regulators, airport operators, airlines and tourism stakeholders remains essential to building a competitive and resilient aviation industry capable of supporting national economic transformation.
She described the gathering as a critical platform for fostering cooperation across the sector, noting that alignment between policy direction and operational realities would be key to unlocking Ghana’s aviation potential.
“This gathering is vital for fostering collaboration between operators and policymakers, ensuring that our aviation sector thrives,” she said, adding that open engagement among stakeholders provides opportunities to address persistent challenges while also driving innovation.
Madam Baah commended AviationGhana, West Africa’s only aviation-focused daily e-Newspaper and online portal, for convening the platform consistently since 2017, saying the initiative had played an important role in strengthening industry cohesion and advancing dialogue on aviation development priorities in Ghana.
“I commend AviationGhana for their unwavering commitment to facilitating these interactions since 2017, paving the way for progress and unity in our industry,” she noted.
