Accra International Airport is the new name for Ghana’s principal international airport, according to the Ministry of Transportation. This information was included in a news release on February 23.
“The Ministry hereby notifies the public that Kotoka International Airport has been formally renamed to its original name, Accra International Airport, by the Government of Ghana,” the announcement said.
It explained that, “The facility was originally known as Accra International Airport before its redesignation. The government has considered it appropriate to restore the Airport to its former and internationally recognised name.
This change will not affect airport operations, safety standards, or international travel arrangements. Notably, within the records of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), the airport code has remained “ACC”.”
The statement added that, “Implementation of the renaming will involve the systematic update of official documentation, statutory instruments where necessary, airport signage, digital platforms, aviation publications, and related communication materials.
