Wing Commander Andy Mensah (RTD), Director-General of the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) has resigned his post, sources close to the Authority confirmed on Friday.
The sources said Wg-Cdr Mensah tendered his resignation about nine months ago but was asked to stay on to ensure smooth hand-over.
He is due to take up a new appointment with the International Civil Aviation Organisation, based in Dakar, Senegal.
Captain Joseph Boachie (RTD) Deputy Director-General, takes over as the new director-general.
Wg-Cdr Mensah has been on a three-year renewable contract that has spanned the last 12 years.
The source said a new GCAA board would be constituted soon. The GCAA has chalked remarkable successes in the last 10 years under the leadership of Wg-Cdr Mensah who has markedly face-lifted the Kotoka International Airport to become one of the most prestigious destinations in Africa.
