Two car park workers at the Accra International Airport have been dismissed by the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) for extorting money from passengers.
According to the company, the workers were dismissed after GACL received repeated complaints from passengers and successfully identified those responsible for the misconduct.
Speaking during a visit by Parliament’s Committee on Roads and Transportation to the airport on Tuesday, August 4, The Managing Director of GACL, Yvonne Nana Afriyie Opare said the action forms part of the company’s efforts to eliminate extortion at the airport and improve the experience of passengers using the facility.
Mrs Opare further reaffirmed GACL’s commitment to ensuring professionalism, accountability and excellent customer service across all operations at the airport.
“Just about two weeks ago, we had two people expelled from the airport in the car park, workers who asked passengers for money. And instantly, because we were able to identify and zero in on the specific people, we were able to have them leave the airport immediately. So we are asking the general public to help us address these issues,” she said. Enditem
