Accra International Airport is undergoing a major expansion, with several infrastructure projects underway to improve passenger experience and strengthen Ghana’s aviation sector.
The developments include a new 54-metre air traffic control tower nearing completion, a concourse connecting Terminals 2 and 3, and a seven-storey car park expected to accommodate about 2,000 vehicles.
According to the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL), passenger traffic increased from 1.8 million in 2022 to 2.5 million in 2025, placing additional pressure on existing airport facilities.
The new terminal link, which is expected to be completed in November 2027, will feature five boarding bridges, lounges and commercial shops, allowing passengers to move between the terminals without going outdoors.
Meanwhile, Terminal 2 is undergoing a $15 million refurbishment scheduled for completion in December 2026. The terminal will subsequently handle both domestic and international flights.
A separate seven-storey car park and commercial complex will replace the existing 513-space facility with approximately 2,000 parking spaces, alongside retail outlets, hotels and a sky-view lounge.
Authorities are reviving plans for a 10-aircraft Northern Apron, suspended for four years because of funding challenges.
Transport Minister Joseph Bukari Nikpe said the expansion programme aims to position Ghana as a leading aviation hub in West Africa.
