The Ministry of Transport has announced the official restoration of the country’s main aviation hub Kotoka International Airport to its original name, Accra International Airport.
“The government has considered it appropriate to restore the Airport to its former and internationally recognised name,” a statement on Monday, February 23 stressed.
According to the statement, the change will not affect airport operations, safety standards or international travel arrangements.
It noted that within the records of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), Kotoka International Airport code had remained ‘ACC’.
“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.”
The Ministry appealed to the general public, stakeholders and international partners to support and cooperate with the relevant authorities “to ensure a smooth and seamless transition”.
