A leading aviation expert has called on the government to intervene in soaring airline ticket prices, warning that high costs could become a major barrier to travel, commerce, and tourism.
Speaking on the challenges facing travelers, the expert stressed that affordable airfares are essential for economic growth, highlighting that excessive ticket costs could limit mobility for students, businesspeople, and everyday citizens. “We cannot allow cost to clip the wings of our aviation sector,” the expert declared.
Industry analysts agree that rising fares are driven by fuel prices, airport taxes, and operational costs, but they insist that policy solutions and strategic subsidies could make flying more accessible.
The expert’s appeal has sparked discussions on social media, with citizens urging government action to ensure air travel remains within reach for all Ghanaians, while also supporting the sustainability of the aviation sector.
