GACL Announces Enhanced Security Screening at Accra International Airport
The Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) has announced enhanced security screening measures at the Accra International Airport.
In a public notice issued on October 2, 2026, GACL said pre-screening checks by the Narcotics Control Commission are being conducted at the entrance to the Departure Hall, before passengers proceed to check-in.
According to the notice, all passengers travelling through the airport will be required to undergo luggage screening at the entrance to departures before entering the departure hall.
It added that screening is being conducted using scanning machines and sniffer dogs as part of enhanced security measures.
The Company noted that pre-screening checks are conducted at several international airports worldwide.
To avoid delays, GACL has advised all departing passengers to arrive at the airport at least three (3) hours before their scheduled departure time to allow adequate time for security screening, check-in, and other boarding formalities.
It also stressed that access to the Departure Hall is restricted to travelling passengers only, and non-travelling persons will not be permitted entry.
“GACL appreciates the cooperation and the understanding of all passengers and airport users as we continue to cooperate with the security agencies to strengthen security and ensure safe, secure, and efficient airport operations for all,” the statement said.
