Ghana Air Traffic Safety Electronics Association Announces Indefinite Strike, Disrupting Air Travel
Ghana’s aviation sector faces potential disruption as the Ghana Air Traffic Safety Electronics Association (GHATSEA) has announced an indefinite strike, effective Thursday, October 30, 2025. This decisive action stems from longstanding grievances with the management of the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), highlighting issues that could impact air travel safety and efficiency within Ghana and potentially across the wider African airspace it interacts with.
Key Demands and Concerns
The core of GHATSEA’s discontent lies in what they perceive as the GCAA’s persistent failure to address critical welfare and professional concerns over the past 15 years, despite numerous petitions and dialogues. According to a statement released by GHATSEA President, Eng. David Annan Mensah, the unresolved issues encompass unfair salary administration, inequitable job placement practices, and significant welfare challenges affecting members. The Association specifically points blame at the Director of Human Resources, Ebenezer Sagoe, accusing the leadership of repeatedly mishandling these matters. As a result, GHATSEA is directly demanding the immediate removal of Mr. Sagoe from office as a primary condition for ending the industrial action. Furthermore, the association calls for a comprehensive review and resolution of all outstanding issues affecting their members, signaling a need for systemic change within the GCAA to restore employee confidence and ensure the ongoing safety of air traffic operations.
The indefinite nature of the strike underscores the depth of GHATSEA’s frustration, and the potential impact on air travel cannot be overstated. Passengers should prepare for possible flight delays or cancellations as GHATSEA’s members are integral to air traffic control and safety systems.
