The Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) has reclaimed its lands from McDan Group of Companies following a court ruling in its favour.
This comes after the Accra Court on May 6, 2025, issued a judgement that allows GACL to re-enter and take possession of over 16 acres of land that were previously occupied by subsidiaries of McDan Group.
The reclaimed properties are in two folds, one measuring approximately 10.63 acres and the other 5.66 acres, located near the Action Chapel International, close to the Kotoka International Airport.
These lands had been occupied by the McDan Shipping Company and Airport Logistics Limited since 2012.
In February 2025, GACL initiated legal action against these entities, alleging longstanding breaches of their land lease agreements and failure to pay ground rents.
As part of the legal proceedings, GACL is seeking to recover $26,296 in accrued ground rent and requested a perpetual injunction to prevent the defendants from interfering with the lands.
After reviewing the case, GACL successfully applied for summary judgment on the basis that the defendants lacked a valid defence.
The court not only ruled in favour of GACL but also awarded all requested reliefs, including a legal cost order of GH¢50,000 against the defendants.
In December 2024, operations of McDan Aviation at Terminal 1 of the Kotoka International Airport were suspended due to outstanding debts. Although those debts were subsequently settled, the land dispute persisted until this recent legal victory.
Management at GACL has praised the court’s decision as a major triumph for asset recovery.
“The repossession of these lands not only safeguards millions of dollars’ worth of state assets but also reinforces our commitment to accountability and lawful management of public property,” a source within the company stated.
This successful legal outcome is attributed to the teamwork of GACL’s Legal Department and its Managing Director, Mrs. Yvonne Nana Afriyie Opare, who led the initiative for asset recovery.
