She added that the vision is to end the present situation where people from Ashanti and Brong-Ahafo Regions, fly to London only by using the Kotoka International Airport in Greater Accra.

“This would have to change – there should be Kumasi-Accra-London direct flights.”

“Not only that, people would not have to travel all the way from Tamale to Accra to board a flight to London. They should be able to fly directly from Tamale,” she added.
