At the session AWA unveiled its new Embraer E190 aircraft and outlined potential collaboration areas with the ministry. The minister praised the airline’s investment in Ghana’s aviation sector but emphasized that stronger domestic connectivity and affordable travel packages are essential to broaden access to tourist sites across the country.

Gomashie said that making air travel more accessible could encourage more Ghanaians to visit attractions in different regions, supporting the government’s goal of expanding domestic tourism. She also welcomed AWA’s Afishiapa Christmas Promo and its partnership with GHOne TV, which will showcase tourist destinations and promote travel within Ghana.

The meeting highlighted the prospect of closer cooperation between the aviation and tourism sectors, with both parties agreeing to explore ways to improve connectivity and offer competitive fares to stimulate domestic travel.
