PassionAir has announced the implementation of the Airport Infrastructure Development Charge (AIDC), a new levy introduced by the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL).
The charge is part of a broader government initiative aimed at modernizing airport facilities across the country.
This means that domestic travelers in the country will see a slight adjustment in ticket pricing.
According to a public notice issued by PassionAir’s Corporate Affairs Department, the new fee is designed to support the funding of ongoing and future airport infrastructure projects.
Passengers should note that, effective 1 April 2026, a one-way trip will incur a GHS100 charge.
This fee applies to all tickets issued on or after the effective date and will be incorporated directly into applicable passenger fares as a tax, in compliance with regulatory directives.
The introduction of the AIDC aligns with the Government of Ghana’s policy on airport modernization.
By generating dedicated revenue for the GACL, the government intends to enhance the passenger experience and expand the capacity of domestic airports.
”This new charge will support the Government’s effort to fund ongoing and future airport infrastructure improvements across the country,” the statement noted.
While the charge adds GHS100 to the cost of a one-way domestic flight, it is positioned as a necessary step for the long-term sustainability and growth of the Ghanaian aviation sector.
Passengers are encouraged to take note of the April 1 deadline when booking future travel to avoid surprises at checkout.
PassionAir stated that it remains committed to informing its “valued customers” of these regulatory changes to ensure a smooth transition as the new infrastructure policy takes flight.
