Ghana Airways

Ghana Airways is the flag carrier and largest airline of Ghana, operating scheduled domestic and international services.

= History = Gold Coast Airways was founded in 1956 by Inter-Dominion Air Lines of British Columbia. Two years later - one year after the independence of Ghana - IDAL sold 75% to the government of Ghana, and the airline was renamed Ghana Airways. IDAL sold its remaining share to Ghana in 1979.
