Former Deputy Defence Minister confirms Falcon 900 Presidential Jet in good condition after servicing in France
Kofi Amankwaa-Manu confirmed that the Dassault Falcon 900 presidential jet is in good condition after servicing in France. Mr. Amankwaa-Manu stated, "The jet has arrived in Ghana, and the current Chief of Air Staff personally piloted it back to the country, so I can say that the presidential jet is in good condition." He explained that the jet was sent to France for maintenance during the previous administration under Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
Mr. Amankwaa-Manu noted that presidential aircraft require periodic servicing after flying a certain distance or after a set operational period. He disagreed with suggestions that the current presidential jet is unfit for use. Felix Kwakye Fosu, the Minister for Government Communications, explained that the private jet used by President John Dramani Mahama provided by Ibrahim Mahama is free of charge, with the state covering only the fuelling costs.
