In a statement, Asamoah Gyan used his doctoral status to clarify difficulties with his BabyJet Airlines.
Following speculations that his aviation venture would be headquartered outside of Ghana, the former Ghana captain issued a statement on Thursday.
Gyan obtained a license to operate an airplane in Ghana in 2017, according to President Akufo-Addo.
The announcement came during the African Airshow at Kotoka International Airport (KIA), although the airline has yet to commence operations.
The airline’s management stated in a statement that it will operate from Ghana, contrary to speculations that it will be headquartered elsewhere.
It said BabyJet Airlines has “neither considered nor taken any decision to relocate its operational HQ outside Ghana.”
The statement added: “The Can-Do spirit that has always defined Asamoah Gyan, will ensure that together with his Management Team, the smooth operation of the BabyJet Airline with its HQ in Ghana kicks off shortly.
“Management of Baby Jet Airlines still believes in operationalizing its service in Ghana and has neither considered nor taken a decision to relocate its operational Headquarters outside Ghana.”
Meanwhile, the striker’s doctorate title – Dr. Asamoah Gyan – was used on the letterhead, which sent Twitter users into a frenzy.
It will be recalled that Gyan was conferred with a honourary doctorate degree by Ukrainian institute Alfred Noble University in 2019.
However, the former Sunderland forward has rarely used his doctorate title until now.
