Presidential Jet Safely Delivered Back To Ghana Air Force After A Long Overhaul

Ghana’s presidential jet has been safely delivered back into the custody of the Ghana Air Force, eight months after it was flown to France for major maintenance and overhaul works. The aircraft, a Dassault Falcon, returned on Monday, 10th November, marking the end of an extended period at the Dassault Falcon Service MRO facility located at Paris Le Bourget (PLB).

According to aviation sources, the jet had been sent to the highly specialised Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) base earlier this year for a comprehensive series of scheduled checks and technical upgrades required to keep the aircraft airworthy and mission-ready.

The prolonged stay at the facility was due to the extensive nature of the works, supply-chain–related delays, and additional inspections that emerged during the maintenance process.

Its safe return brings relief to the Ghana Air Force, which has been operating without the aircraft for several months. Throughout this period, alternative arrangements had been made for presidential and governmental travel when necessary.

The restored aircraft is expected to undergo final internal verification checks by Ghanaian technical teams before resuming official duties. The Ghana Air Force expressed confidence that the significant maintenance investment will enhance the aircraft’s performance, safety, and operational lifespan.

The return of the jet signals the close of an extended maintenance cycle and the restoration of full transport capabilities for the Office of the President and other high-level state operations.
