Some of the airline operators had already cancelled scheduled flights since Wednesday as a result of the bad weather.

Domestic Airlines are expected to be grounded for two more weeks due to bad weather caused by the harmattan.

This was contained in a “Notice to Air Men [NOTAM],” by the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA).

The Notice, on Saturday December 5, warned that the weather may only be safe for flights after December 15, 2015.

Aircrafts at the Kumasi International Airport have cancelled their flights for the next three days due to bad weather.

The development has led to tens of stranded passengers being forced to travel by road.

Domestic airlines would also experience a drop in revenue, especially during this month of December, where there are lots of air travels due to the yuletide season.
