Ghana’s presidential aircraft, a Falcon 900EX EASy operated by the Ghana Air Force (Accra), has arrived back in Accra after having been in maintenance in France since March, ch-aviation research reveals.
ADS-B data shows that 9G-EXE (msn 0241) was ferried to Accra from Paris Le Bourget on November 10 after it underwent final tests.
According to Ghana's deputy defence minister, Ernest Brogya Genfi, these included a leak test, an engine ground run, repainting the right wing, and a final acceptance flight.
Briefing the Ghanaian parliament on November 6, Genfi said the jet was ferried to Dassault Falcon Service at Le Bourget on March 11, 2025, for mandatory 24-month and 1,600-hour inspections.
He said corrosion found in the fuel tanks was repaired but a fuel leak in the right-hand wing was discovered subsequently and challenges were encountered with the reinstallation of a panel, resulting in delays. However, the wing was repaired with assistance from the original equipment manufacturer.
The return of the aircraft was postponed several times due to the unavailability of spare parts.
According to ch-aviation fleet data, the 14.8-year-old Falcon 900 was delivered to the Ghana Air Force in 2010 and is powered by Honeywell Aerospace TFE731-60-1C engines.
