A statement from the Jubilee House had earlier revealed when President John Dramani Mahama will resume flying in the Falcon EX jet, Ghana’s presidential jet.
According to the Jubilee House statement, President Mahama will only fly on the Falcon EX jet after the Air Force certifies it as safe, according to a statement from the Jubilee House.
The Jubilee House is quoted by TV3 to have said, “President Mahama will use Falcon EX only after Airforce clears the jet as safe”.
Also, the Vice-President of IMANI Africa, Bright Simons, has revealed that Ghana’s presidential jet, the Falcon 900 Executive Jet, has returned home after eight months of repair work in France.
According to Bright Simons, Ghana’s presidential jet underwent a compulsory maintenance process while in France.
In a post on X, Bright Simons wrote, “Ghana’s presidential jet has been delivered safely back into the custody of the Ghana Air Force since Monday, the 10th of November. Exactly 8 months after it was sent to the Dassault Falcon Service MRO base at Paris Le Bourget (PLB).
Whilst at PLB, it underwent a MANDATORY 24-month and 1600-hour technical inspection”.
Mr Simons further detailed, “During this extensive inspection, severe defects affecting the fuel tank and a turbofan were discovered, triggering prolonged repairs that could only be done with manufacturer assistance at that specific Dassault facility.
All the complex repairs, final tests (including leak tests, engine ground runs, and acceptance flights), have been successfully completed. The long delay in completing the repairs was due to some apparent difficulty sourcing certain OEM-certified spare parts. The aircraft has, however, been given the all clear by DFS now.
Before delivery to Accra, a positioning flight from Marseille, relating to minor logistics, was conducted”, his post concluded.
