I just hope and pray that refusal to renew Ghana Airways contract has
nothing to do with this new deal they signed with Slok International
Airlines in Banjul a few days ago. Although Ghana Airways has not been
the most reliable or comfortable carrier, they must be recognized as one
of the cheapest and convenient alternatives between Banjul and the US.
