Bad weather responsible for GAF’s emergency landing at Bonsukrom – Ghana Gas

The emergency landing of the Ghana Air Force helicopter on Tuesday, March 19, near Agona Nkwanta in the Western Region was attributed to perilous atmospheric conditions by the Ghana National Gas Company (GNGC).

GNGC assured the public that the incident would not impact its operations at Atuabo.

The helicopter, which crash-landed near Bonsukrom, was carrying 21 individuals, including staff from the Petroleum sector regulators.

Ghana Gas in a statement signed by its Head of Corporate Communications, Ernest Kofi Owusu-Bempah, said, “The emergency landing occurred as a result of bad weather conditions. All passengers on board have been accounted for and there were no fatalities.

“However, crew members are currently undergoing routine medical checkup. While assuring members of the public and our operational staff at Atuabo to remain calm, we want to assure the general public that the incident will not affect our operations.”

Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has confirmed that there were no casualties following the emergency landing of one of its helicopters.
