Great news!

Glad to see progress being made. If the intentions are to fly regionally from launch, has there been any decision on which new aircraft type will be used (A318/19/20/21 like TJA)? How soon can we expect to see a new type? Is this going to be a hybrid model like starbow or low cost like fly540/fastjet with no food served on board.

congrats AWA!

Also,

Once you have the Ghana CPL/IR you can undergo a GCAA approved type rating course and then have the type-rating directly endorsed on your Ghana CPL/IR.
Quick clarification... Does ''GCAA type rating approved course'' mean they only accept type ratings from specific courses/FTOs? Could this affect someone who already has an A320 rating endorsed on an FAA CPL? how does one find out if a course is approved or not?

No, we are still on hold with the second batch until the aircraft delivery dates are fixed. Obviously there has been some "turnover" of candidates in the interim, so we are still happy to accept applications from interested parties.
Has recruitment picked up again and is there a bonding period after the type training is completed?
