The Government of Ghana has officially reverted the name of Kotoka International Airport to its original designation, Accra International Airport.
In a statement issued by the Transport Ministry on Monday February 23, the government explained that the facility was previously known as Accra International Airport before it was redesignated.
According to the Ministry, it has been deemed appropriate to restore the airport to its former and internationally recognised name.
The Transport Ministry assured the public that the change will not affect airport operations, safety standards, or international travel arrangements. It further noted that within the records of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), the airport code has consistently remained “ACC”.
The renaming process will involve the systematic update of official documentation, statutory instruments where necessary, airport signage, digital platforms, aviation publications, and related communication materials.
The government has called on the general public, stakeholders, and international partners to cooperate with the relevant authorities to ensure a smooth and seamless transition.
The Ministry expressed appreciation to all stakeholders for their continued support.
