Delta Airlines Plane Banned From Flying To Ghana

The Ghana Civil Aviation Authority has banned an aircraft with Delta Airlines, with registration N195DN, from flying to Ghana. This follows the failure of the company to investigate and address technical issues regarding the aircraft in question, which left several Accra-bound passengers, including Ghanaians, stranded at the JFK

Airport on July 24, 2022, the Authority said. The crew of the Airline raised an alert about fuel imbalance with the left main tank of the aircraft. In a statement, the Aviation Authority said the aircraft was, however, dispatched within the United States despite the alert raised. With immediate effect, Delta Air Lines is being advised not to

dispatch the B767-332 with registration number N195DN for flights to the Accra, GCAA warned. Recently, seven travellers, including an American and Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress, Sammy Gyamfi, petitioned the Aviation Consumer Protection Office of the US Department of Transportation over the

conduct of Delta Air Lines managers. They complained that their fligh from the US on the July 24, 2022 was inexplicably delayed. The flight was then rescheduled, cancelled and rescheduled without sleep arrangements for passengers. The complainants contend that this inconvenience was on the flimsy ground that one of its

pilots had not reported for work. In a statement, the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority called on the authorities of the aircraft to deal with the technical challenge.
