The strategic development is expected to significantly enhance operational efficiency at the country’s premier aviation hub by enabling faster connections, smoother passenger transfers, and an overall improved travel experience.
Under the leadership of President Mahama, the government, through the Ministry of Transport, remains committed to delivering modern, world-class infrastructure.
The project forms part of a broader expansion agenda aimed at easing congestion and strengthening Ghana’s position as a leading aviation hub in West Africa.

He noted that the steady rise in passenger traffic from 1.8 million in 2022 to 2.5 million in 2025 reflects Ghana’s growing connectivity and increasing appeal as a travel destination.
