Local airline, Antrak Air has suspended operations in country for the next three months due to operational reasons.
Sources close to the company confirmed this to Citi business news.
According to the source, the company will use the period to re-strategize to win in the domestic market.
Antrak air started operations in September 2003 with scheduled domestic and regional flights.
This will not be the first time Antrak is suspending its operations. In May 2012, it grounded its flights following a fire on board its only aircraft.
The company resumed its domestic flights on August 6, 2012 after being grounded for about two months.
Another domestic airline operator , Fly540 suspended operations in Ghana in 2014 after it encountered a few setbacks.
The company asked about a hundred of its workers to go on an administrative leave.
The airline explained that the move was to help it restructure its operations.
In the same year [2014], other airline operators including British Airways and Delta Airlines suspended operations due to some challenges.
Delta Airlines was compelled to temporally suspend operations to Liberia due to weak passenger demand while British airways resorted to such a decision as a result of the Ebola outbreak.
