The Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, Felix Ofosu Kwakye, has announced that the Ghana Airports Company Limited is moving forward with plans to expand and modernise facilities at Accra International Airport to enhance passenger experience.

In a post shared on Saturday, April 4, he noted that the current car park at Terminal 3, which accommodates only 513 vehicles, is inadequate and often results in congestion during peak hours.

To address this, he said construction will commence mid-year on a new seven-storey car park with a capacity of 2,000 vehicles, significantly improving parking availability for passengers and visitors.

The expansion will also feature 4,000 square metres of retail space, including a shopping mall and restaurants, as well as a sky-view lounge for observing flight takeoffs and landings.

In addition, a two-in-one airport hotel is planned, comprising a 250-room budget facility and a 120-room luxury hotel to accommodate travellers, particularly those affected by flight delays or layovers.

Further developments will include a conference facility and business centre, as part of efforts to position Accra International Airport as a modern, world-class aviation hub in the region.
