Passion Air has reduced ticket prices by 10% across all domestic routes, effective June 17, 2025.
This adjustment comes as the Ghanaian cedi gains strength against major international currencies, lowering operating costs. Passion Air became the first domestic airline to respond to recent calls for pricing reviews.
Transport Minister Joseph Bukari Nikpe had encouraged operators to reflect the cedi’s appreciation in ticket pricing. He made this appeal during a stakeholder breakfast organized by the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority on June 11. The airline described the fare cut as a direct benefit to passengers amid favorable currency conditions.
“This fare adjustment comes in response to the recent strengthening of the cedi against major foreign currencies,” Passion Air said.
Airline Commits to Affordable Travel
Passion Air noted that the change supports its broader goal of enhancing accessibility to domestic air travel. Officials say the airline remains focused on offering competitive fares while maintaining safety and service quality.
“As the domestic aviation landscape evolves, we remain focused on offering competitive fares that reflect these changes,” it stated.
The airline also reaffirmed its dedication to comfort, affordability, and high service standards for all travelers. By taking the lead on fare adjustments, Passion Air may influence pricing trends within Ghana’s aviation market.
This move is expected to offer some relief to frequent flyers and promote travel across regions. The fare cut could also boost passenger numbers during the mid-year travel period. With this initiative, Passion Air sets a precedent in linking foreign exchange trends to local fare pricing.
Industry analysts will watch closely to see if other domestic carriers follow suit.
