Antrak Air, a domestic private airline, has marked its first anniversary in Accra with a reception for a cross section of the Ghanaian business community.Speaking at the reception, the Chairman of the airline, Alhaji Asoma Banda, called for a level playing field for Ghanaian entrepreneurs.He said until that was done, Ghanaian entrepreneurs and the country at large would be at the mercy of the international donor community.Alhaji Banda announced that although things had been difficult, the airline, within 12 months of its operation, had acquired an aircraft of its own and would be extending its operations to the West Africa sub-region because the airline had been issued with an Air Operation Certificate.He commended the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) and staff of the airline for their tremendous support and commitment to duty. The Director General of the GCAA, Captain Joe Boachie, also commended the airline and said the celebration of its first anniversary coincided with the election of the GCAA to serve as a representative of the West African sub-region on the International Civil Aviation Organisation.He said the capacity of the founder, directors, management and staff of Antrak Air to adhere to procedures, standards and recommended practices had been the overriding contribution to the success of the airline.Captain Boachie said while preparations were being made for the airline to commence regional operations, it should continue to build upon its successes in the volatile air transport industry to ensure reasonable returns on the investments made by its promoters.
