Managing Director of the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL), Yvonne Afriyie Opare, disclosed this at the sod-cutting ceremony for the construction of a Multi-Tiered, Multi-Purpose Car Park and Airport Hotels Complex at the Accra International Airport.
According to her, the entry of the two airlines will strengthen Ghana’s connectivity with key destinations and contribute to the steady growth of operations at the airport.
In October this year [2026], we’ll be welcoming Air Uganda and in March of next year [2027], we’ll be welcoming Etihad Airways. This speaks to the steady growth of operations at the Accra International Airport,” she said.
Opare said the planned expansion of airport infrastructure was necessary to meet the growing demand for air travel and improve the overall passenger experience.
The Multi-Tiered, Multi-Purpose Car Park and Airport Hotels Complex is expected to expand the airport’s facilities by providing additional parking capacity and accommodation for passengers, airline crew and other airport users.
The project will form part of efforts to modernise the airport and improve the services and facilities available to travellers as passenger traffic continues to grow.
