Joint Operations
Flight operations are the core duty of operations and exercises of the Army and the the Air Force, and the Base plays a vital role in fulfilling this mandate for both the State and the military. The air assets of the Base endow it with the airpower to protect the territorial airspace of Ghana and contribute to national development. The Air Force, under the command of the Chief of Air Staff (CAS), has witnessed an increase in the tempo of air operations. This was made possible with the overhaul of 2 x Mi-17 V5 helicopters and 2 x CASA C295 fixed-wing aircraft.

This is to fulfil the Chief of Air Staff’s Vision of making the Ghana Air Force capable of contributing to nation building. In achieving this Vision, the Base has successfully delivered airpower for national security and developmental objectives in collaboration with the Army, Navy and other government organizations. Our air assets have made it possible to successfully support the Navy both internally and externally. Key among these air support activities are Operations MOTHERLAND, HALT II, Exercises EAGLE CLAW, FLINTLOCK, OBANGAME and SEA LION.
