Passion Air cuts domestic airline fares by 10 per cent as Cedi gains ground

Passion Air has announced a 10% reduction in airfares across all its domestic routes, effective June 17, 2025.

The move comes as the Ghanaian cedi continues to post gains against major international currencies, easing cost pressures for local operators.

The decision appears to align with recent remarks by Transport Minister Joseph Bukari Nikpe, who at a stakeholder breakfast organised by the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority on June 11 urged domestic airlines to adjust pricing in line with the local currency’s appreciation.

Passion Air’s fare reduction is the first major response to that call, signaling a potential shift in pricing strategy within Ghana’s domestic aviation market.

The airline says the adjustment is part of efforts to pass on cost savings to passengers while maintaining service standards.

“This fare adjustment comes in response to the recent strengthening of the Cedi (GHs) against major foreign currencies. At PassionAir, we are committed to ensuring our valued customers benefit directly from positive market developments.

“As the domestic aviation landscape evolves, we remain focused on offering competitive fares’ that reflect these changes. While maintaining our commitment to the safety and comfort of our passengers, we continue to prioritize making domestic air travel more accessible and affordable for all Ghanaians,” Passion Air stated in a post on its Facebook page.
