Global Ghana Airlines Will Start Flying To Chicago Any Day Now (Or Not)

Hilarious

A scam and it’s surprising how many people fall for this — ticket purchase are probably via bank transfer

Section 17.3 of GHANA CIVIL AVIATION (ECONOMIC) DIRECTIVES, 2017 (Part 2) makes it an offense for any person to "advertise or solicit for any form of air transportation where the person
does not have the applicable economic license or operating license issued by the
Authority".

What is the difference between a 'startup' and a 'new' airline? It seems that any new company is nowadays is a 'startup', so is that more than just a 'new' company - probably just nonsense millenial business speak similar to 'going forward'.

How do people get away with this? It's hilarious.
An Airline that can't write the name of their only destination correctly - ohare instead of O'Hare - can't be taken seriously.
Then the 123 456 789 tel number at the bottom of the page LMAO

You should book it with a credit card then show up for your flight and see what happens. Your credit card will reimburse you if it's fraud.

The Business class was cheaper by 30$ then economy. What a great deal. It is possible to book with Cc. This is all weird.

There are many (low cost) A330 in a 3-3-3 configuration

I'm going to create a new airline, Global Atlantic Airways! It will exclusively fly between Berlin Brandenburg and JFK using a boeing 777. I'm gonna start by selling tickets first. Wanna join in Lucky, we would become rich 😉

Look at the seat map go business , narrowbody, also it is the exact same with seatguru. I can do better PS than that!

Where can I credit these flights to?

Look at their Managing Director (and General Manager. And Director of Operations)! Johnnie O'Toole is apparently also an "Aviation Consultant" for Chicago Public Schools...

I love how on one press release flights were due to start on 1 November 2017. Then on 6 November 2017:

Global Ghana Airline’s inaugural date to begin operations has been postponed until February 5, 2018 due
to the following reasons:
1. To provide additional time to communicate with regulatory authorities and secure requisite
documentation; and
2. Winter weather concerns, as winter operations can be challenging for start-up carriers.

Tried to look at multiple flights on different days and they all say "Sold Out".. ROFL..

The front door on the 'plane is not aligned - if anyone doubted that it was photoshopped!

Scams originating in West Africa? How racist of you!

What a guy!

"Johnnie O’Toole - Managing Director

Mr. Johnnie O’Toole is the founder of Global Ghana Airlines, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sister City International Airlines registered on April 2013. With over 20 years of experience, Mr. O'Toole currently serves as both General Manager and Director of Operations for the airline.

Mr. O’Toole’s career in aviation started more than 30 years ago, when he attended the Aerospace Institute in Chicago where he majored in Aeronautical Engineering, with the goal of working for the McDonnell Douglas commercial aircraft manufacturing company. His areas of discipline included Aircraft and Missile Design. When the manufacturing industry shifted for the worse in the late 1980’s, Mr. O’Toole relocated to Chicago, IL. In 1994, Mr. O’Toole committed himself to putting his vast aviation experience to work when he founded ISO Aeronautics Training Institute, a part 61 flight school. Today, Mr. O’Toole continues to operate his flight school as a pilot instructor where he has certified more than 250 pilots. In addition to his roles with Global Ghana Airlines and ISO Aeronautics Training Institute, Mr. O’Toole also works as an Aviation Consultant for the Chicago Public School system."

Also love the following statement on their tarmac delay contingency:

"While an aircraft is delayed on the tarmac, Global Ghana Airlines will notify passengers on board the aircraft regarding the status of the delay every 30 minutes, including the reasons for the delay, if known."

I sure hope that a reason for a tarmac delay is known 😉

Looks like Ethiopian is actually serious about creating a Ghanian airline however: https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/ethiopian-selected-to-create-new-ghanaian-carrier-454168/

I work in the same hangar as where this guy has his office, he's a scam artist for sure.
