Kotoka International Airport Officially Renamed

Ghana has officially changed the name of its largest airport to Accra International Airport, the Ministry of Transport has confirmed.

In a statement, it said the government considered it appropriate to restore the airport to its former and internationally recognised name.

It noted that the 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’.”

Meanwhile, it stated that the 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 general public, stakeholders, and international partners are kindly requested to support and cooperate with the relevant authorities to ensure a smooth and seamless transition.”
