Ghana Airways plane turned in to a restaurant, in Accra at Kotoka International Airport, Ghana
|
Ghana Airways Limited was the national airline of the Republic of Ghana with its main base of operation, and hub, at Kotoka International Airport in Accra.
The airline ceased operations in 2004, but was to be revived during 2010 as a partnership between. Courtesy a public private partnership arrangement, a DC 10 aircraft owned by the defunct Ghana Airways has been converted into a grounded restaurant which appears to have created quite a buzz around an airline that was otherwise dead. |
Two months after a new restaurant was launched in Ghana's capital, Accra, it is flying high.

Known locally as the "Green Plane", it is located in an old DC-10 aeroplane which used to travel from Ghana to Europe and the US. It is proving popular, especially with those who want to see what it is like inside an aircraft.
Owned by Ghana Airways before it went bankrupt in 2005, the plane was once impounded at London's Heathrow airport because of the national carrier's unpaid debts. The government now hopes to earn some money from the aircraft and the restaurant was opened in partnership with Vindira Company Limited. "Attendance is very impressive. At first, people wanted to have a feel of restaurant in a plane but surprisingly they keep coming," says restaurant manager Indira Shiyam. Some visitors have never been inside an aeroplane. "I am excited to be here, my first time in a plane," said Mary Dapaah as she posed for a photo. "It looks a little different from the inside of planes I see on television."
