Ghana’s domestic airline, Passion Air, recently announced a 10 per cent reduction in airfares across its routes.
In a statement, Passion Air attributed the fare reduction to the strengthening of the Ghanaian Cedi against major currencies and a recent drop in aviation fuel prices. The airline, which operates across Accra, Tamale, Kumasi, Takoradi, Wa, and Sunyani, stated that the adjustment was part of its commitment to ensuring “positive market trends benefit customers directly.”
Mr. Joseph Nikpe, Ghana’s Minister for Transport, earlier called on domestic carriers to review fares downward, suggesting that the improved macroeconomic environment should reflect in reduced costs for businesses and passengers.
Passion Air’s announcement followed a 15 per cent reduction in road transport fares, as Ghana experiences a broader easing of inflationary pressures.
