The Brazilian Government will provide Ghana with a credit facility to acquire a transporter jet for the Ghanaian Air Force.
The air force will be able to increase its operational efficiency with the acquisition of the 90-seater ERJI90 aircraft from Brazil’s Embraer.
It will also enable the air force to reduce dependence on the UN for hiring jets to move troops.
Ghanaian Vice-President John Dramani Mahama was quoted by Peace FM Online as saying that the final agreement for the purchase was subject to parliamentary approval.
