A Ghanaian man has alleged that the government turned down a lucrative deal with Delta Airlines due to the airline’s refusal to pay a bribe. 

In an interview with Kingdom FM, he recounted that during an embassy meeting with US commercial representatives, a series of frustrating encounters and unproductive negotiations ultimately resulted in a dead end for the American airline.

According to him, he and one Hannah Acquah attended numerous meetings where Delta Airlines representatives, including one John Fechushak who stayed in a hotel for over four months, attempted to secure a deal. 

He added that Mr Fechushak visited Ghana around 40 times, yet despite their efforts, the agreement was never finalized.

Delta Airlines had proposed a comprehensive contract that included the construction of an aviation school in Ghana at no cost.

This school was intended to train Ghanaian pilots, stewards, flight attendants, and other aviation personnel.
