On Monday, August 11, 2025, a Volta River Aviation helicopter, bearing the registration number 9G-AFW, made an unexpected emergency landing at Nkawkaw Ampekrom in the Kwahu West Municipality of the Eastern Region.
The circumstances surrounding the incident are currently unclear. However, eyewitness accounts describe how the aircraft descended suddenly before making a safe touchdown in an open area near the New Generation School. Fortunately, no casualties were reported in this alarming situation.
Aboard the helicopter were a pilot, a technician, and three Chinese nationals who were on their way to Kumasi. Initial investigations suggest that bad weather conditions may have forced the helicopter to land unexpectedly.
According to reports from Accra 100.5 FM, Nkawkaw’s correspondence confirmed that the helicopter has since resumed its journey toward Kumasi. Notably, it was observed that the three Chinese nationals fled the scene during the emergency landing, leaving many questions unanswered as to their reasons for departing so quickly.
As details continue to emerge regarding this incident, authorities remain vigilant in assessing the situation and ensuring the safety of future flights in the region.
