Kumasi Airport is a prominent national airport located in Kumasi, the capital city of the Ashanti Region in Ghana. Situated approximately 6 kilometers (4 miles) from the city center, the airport serves as a crucial transportation hub for the region. In recent years, it has experienced significant growth, establishing itself as the second busiest airport in Ghana, trailing behind the renowned Kotoka International Airport in Accra.
Originally a military base, Kumasi Airport underwent a transformative conversion into a civilian airport in 1999. Since then, the airport has undergone several renovation and expansion projects aimed at bolstering its status as an international airport and improving its infrastructure to cater to the growing number of passengers.
In 2008, ahead of Ghana’s hosting of the African Cup of Nations 2008 (CAN 2008), Bans Consult Limited carried out extensive renovation works at the airport. These renovation efforts focused on enhancing various areas of the airport, including the arrival and departure halls, the control room, the rescue and fire station, and the construction of a VIP Lounge.
Over the years, Kumasi International Airport has experienced a significant increase in passenger numbers, handling over 450,000 passengers in 2022 alone. With its strategic location, Kumasi Airport plays a pivotal role in facilitating travel and trade in the region. It serves as a vital link connecting Kumasi to other parts of Ghana. The airport’s transformation from a military base to a bustling international airport underscores the nation’s dedication to enhancing air travel infrastructure and providing convenient travel options for both domestic and international passengers.
As Kumasi Airport continues to evolve and expand, it is poised to play an increasingly important role in Ghana’s aviation landscape, contributing to the nation’s economic development and promoting tourism and business opportunities in the vibrant Ashanti Region.
