President John Dramani Mahama is set to officially start the expansion of Accra International Airport by cutting the sod for the project before the end of August 2026. The development, which aims to enhance the airport’s capacity and infrastructure, is part of broader efforts to improve Ghana’s transportation network. The project is expected to include upgrades to terminal facilities, runway improvements, and additional services to accommodate growing passenger and cargo volumes.
The timing of the project aligns with the government’s focus on boosting economic growth through improved infrastructure. Officials have emphasized that the expansion will support increased tourism and trade, key drivers for Ghana’s development. While details on the exact scope and funding remain under review, the project has been positioned as a priority for the current administration.
Sources indicate that the initiative is backed by both national and international stakeholders, though no specific financial commitments have been announced. The airport, a critical hub for West Africa, is expected to benefit significantly from the upgrades, enhancing its role in regional connectivity. (yen.com.gh)
