Wa Airport, located in Wa, the capital city of the Upper West Region of Ghana, serves as a vital transportation hub in the area. Operated by Ghana Airports Company Limited, the airport holds the distinction of being the fifth busiest commercial airport in Ghana. In the year 2022 alone, it facilitated the travel of over 25,000 passengers.
Historically, the Wa airstrip had been utilized for domestic services. However, over the years, it became inadequate for accommodating domestic flights. To address this, significant renovations and improvements were undertaken at the airport. These included the construction of a suitable terminal building, the development of a new runway, and the implementation of fencing around the facility. These enhancements were crucial in transforming the airport into a safe and suitable facility for commercial operations.
On 15th October 2019, Wa Airport marked a significant milestone as it commenced scheduled commercial flight operations. Africa World Airlines played a pivotal role in this development, offering services from Accra via Tamale, opening up new opportunities for travelers, connecting them to various destinations conveniently.
However, the airport’s operations were affected by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. In response to the global health crisis, flight services were temporarily suspended to ensure the safety and well-being of passengers and staff. As of now, flight operations at Wa Airport remain suspended, awaiting the resolution of various safety challenges.
The renovations and upgrades undertaken at Wa Airport reflect the commitment to enhancing regional connectivity and facilitating efficient air travel within the Upper West Region. Once the safety challenges are resolved, the airport will resume its operations, serving as a crucial link for both business and leisure travelers.
