00:09We are looking early next year, next year at an inaugural flight.
00:17Initially, we are looking at an Ethiopian airline charter plane in consultation with the people from Ghana, the government in Ghana, a flight from Piyako to Accra.
00:39He says there is great interest and signs of a positive outcome with full flights to and fro.
00:45The public bank has around 40 branches in Ghana, and they always are very concerned when they have to go and visit, because that two-day trip is very expensive, and it's also time-consuming.
