thanked Ghana for this acknowledgement and pledged Puma Energy’s
continued support of the sector.
“It’s truly an honour to receive this award. We’re passionate about
aviation, so we are glad to be acknowledged for our commitment to the
development of aviation in Ghana. We fully support the government’s
vision to make Ghana the aviation hub of West Africa and have already
demonstrated this through continuously providing our airline customers
