Government has reverted the name of the national airport, Kotoka International Airport, to Accra International Airport.
According to a statement issued by the Ministry, the facility was previously known as Accra International Airport before its name was changed. The Ministry indicated that it has been deemed appropriate to return the airport to its former and internationally recognised name.
The Ministry assured the public that the name change will not affect airport operations, safety standards, or international travel arrangements. It further noted that the airport code, “ACC,” as registered with the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), has always remained the same and will continue to be used.
The renaming process will involve the systematic update of official documentation, relevant statutory instruments, airport signage, digital platforms, aviation publications, and other related communication materials. The government has called on the general public, stakeholders, and international partners to cooperate with the relevant authorities to ensure a smooth and seamless transition.
The Ministry expressed appreciation to all stakeholders for their continued support.
