ACCRA’s Kotoka International
Airport is undergoing a
massive upgrade.
By the end of December,
passengers travelling through
the airport should have some
relief from congestion and long
queues. Expansion works on
Terminal 2’s arrival hall are
under way. The first phase
involves the expansion of
the existing floor area, new
baggage-handling equipment
and carousels, additional
immigration booths, and the
replacement of air-conditioning
systems.
Other on-going projects
include the installation of
state-of-the-art security
systems, the reconstruction
of the taxiway and the
construction of a third terminal
for international flights, which
is expected to be completed
by August 2016.
Meanwhile, Tamale Airport
in the north of Ghana is
being developed to handle
international operations,
including the seasonal Hajj
pilgrimage flights between
Ghana and Mecca. On
completion, the airport will
serve as an alternative
to Kotoka, and be able to
accommodate wide-body
aircraft. The project is
expected to be completed by
January 2016.
