Ghana’s presidential jet returns to the Republic after undergoing eight months of maintenance and repairs in France, Vice President of IMANI Ghana Bright Simmons said in a post.
According to him, the aircraft was safely returned on Monday, November 10, 2025, following its dispatch to the Dassault Falcon Service MRO facility at Paris Le Bourget (PLB) for a mandatory 24-month and 1,600-hour technical inspection.
He explained that engineers at the PLB facility uncovered significant defects during the inspection, including issues affecting the fuel tank and one of the jet’s turbofans.
These faults required manufacturer-level intervention and prolonged the maintenance schedule, as the repairs could only be executed at that specific Dassault-authorized site.
Challenges in sourcing certain OEM-certified spare parts further compounded the delay, Simmons added.
“Before its return to Accra, the aircraft undertook a brief positioning flight from Marseille to address minor logistical arrangements,” said Simons.
Meanwhile, the government is yet to make an official statement concerning the Falcon Presidential Jet. Enditem
