The Ghana Airports Company Limited has confirmed plans to present detailed financial evidence in court as part of its ongoing legal dispute with McDan Aviation Handling Services Limited over the termination of the company’s contract and subsequent eviction from Accra International Airport.
The evidence is expected to include post-dated cheques reportedly issued by McDan Aviation that could not be processed due to insufficient funds, alongside demand notices and contractual provisions outlining the conditions under which the contract could be terminated.
In a statement, GACL stressed that it intends to resolve the matter through the judicial system rather than the media, citing what it describes as repeated false allegations by McDan Aviation.
“The company respects judicial processes and will submit all records of non-payment, along with the contract containing termination clauses, to the courts,” the statement noted.
McDan Aviation’s contract was terminated on January 16, 2026, after months of unpaid rent, royalties, and licence fees linked to its Fixed Base Operation services at the airport. At the time, GACL said the company had outstanding payments covering 2025 and $16,000 in rejected banknotes from 2024.
GACL also noted that a partial payment made in February 2026 occurred after the lawful termination of the contract and the closure of the facility, settling only half of the remaining debt.
Additionally, the airport authority highlighted that McDan Aviation has failed to pay licence fees required for private jet handling operations for four consecutive years, from 2022 to 2026.
The submission to court marks the next step in GACL’s efforts to enforce contractual obligations and recover outstanding dues.
