In the public notice, the GACL stated, “The Management of Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) wishes to draw the attention of the general public, prospective land purchasers, and real estate developers to ongoing unauthorised commercial activities regarding its lands located on the Spintex Road, adjacent to and opposite Action Chapel International.

GACL categorically states that the said lands is a subject of litigation in the Court. For the avoidance of doubt, the High Court (Land Division), Accra, delivered judgment in favour of GACL on 6th May 2025, granting GACL the right to re- enter and to take possession of the said lands.

Although McDan Group has subsequently filed an appeal against this decision, the matter remains pending before the Court of Appeal for final determination, the status of the land remains sub judice. Consequently, no party has the lawful authority to dispose of, lease, or transfer any interest in the disputed lands while the judicial process is ongoing.

THE GENERAL PUBLIC IS HEREBY STRICTLY ADVISED AND CAUTIONED TO DESIST FROM ENGAGING IN ANY LAND TRANSACTIONS, NEGOTIATIONS, OR PAYMENTS PERTAINING TO THESE LANDS. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT ANY PERSON OR ENTITY WHO ENTERS INTO ANY TRANSACTION COVERING THESE PARCELS OF LAND DOES SO AT THEIR OWN RISK.

In related news, Nii Adote Otintor II, the Paramount Chief of the Sempe Traditional Area, Nii Adote Otintor II has told the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) to halt their hostile takeover of McDan Aviation at Terminal 1.

The Sempe Chief called on the GACL to restore McDan Aviation’s access to its FBO terminal, adding that the dispute is resolved through lawful procedures.

In a statement issued from the Sempe Stool on March 14, the Sempe Chief stated, “The events represent not just a breach of contract, but an assault on the very spirit of Ghanaian entrepreneurship and a blatant defiance of our judicial system”.

The Sempe Chief highlighted that the GACL ignored a mandatory 90-day notice period required for eviction under the contractual agreement, adding that the development undermines investments made by local investors, which could deter local entrepreneurs from investing in the country.

“The optics of this takeover are troubling. When local investors feel unsafe in their own country, we kill the motivation for future generations to take plausible investment risks,” he said.

The Chief further called on the Ministry of Transport to intervene by restraining GACL and to reinstate McDan Aviation to its Terminal 1 facility.

The Sempe Chief’s remarks follow the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) announcement that it has ended its Fixed Base Operation (FBO) agreement with McDan Aviation Handling Services Limited.

According to the GACL, the FBO agreement has been terminated due to McDan Aviation’s unpaid licence fees, rent, and royalties.
