The Government has officially reverted the name of Kotoka International Airport (KIA) to its original designation, Accra International Airport, the Ministry of Transport announced yesterday.
According to a statement from the Ministry, the airport was originally known as Accra International Airport before being redesignated, and the government has deemed it appropriate to restore the internationally recognised name.
The Ministry assured the public that the name change will not affect airport operations, safety standards, or international travel arrangements. The facility’s International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) code, “ACC,” will remain unchanged.
The statement said implementation of the renaming would involve a systematic update of official documentation, statutory instruments where necessary, airport signage, digital platforms, aviation publications, and other related communication materials.
The Ministry has called on the public, stakeholders, and international partners to cooperate with authorities to ensure a smooth transition.
“The Ministry appreciates the continued cooperation of all stakeholders,” the statement concluded.
