Ghanaian who owned private jets
In Ghana, only two prominent individuals are known for owning private jets: Dr. Daniel McKorley, Executive Chairman of the McDan Group, and Ibrahim Mahama, CEO of Engineers & Planners.
Ibrahim Mahama owns a luxurious Bombardier 604 private jet customized with the name 'Dzata'. The jet's interior exudes elegance, with cream-colored seats providing ultimate comfort for passengers.
Daniel McKorley, on the other hand, owns a private jet for both private and commercial use, currently operating and managing the executive lounge for private jets at the Terminal 1 section of Kotoka International Airport.
With a continuous increase in global fuel prices, the cost of aviation fuel and maintenance for a single private jet could amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
According to flyalliance.com, the average maintenance cost of a private jet ranges from $500,000 to $1 million, in addition to parking fees, avionics upgrades, interior refurbishments, pilot fees, and other expenses.
