The Government of Ghana has officially reverted the name of Kotoka International Airport to its original designation, Accra International Airport, in a move aimed at restoring its historical and internationally recognized identity.
In a statement issued by the Ministry of Aviation, the government explained that the airport was originally known as Accra International Airport before being redesignated. The Ministry affirmed that the renaming is intended to preserve the airport’s heritage while maintaining consistency with international aviation records.
The Ministry reassured the public that the name change will not affect airport operations, safety protocols, or international travel arrangements. It further clarified that the airport code, “ACC,” as listed by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), remains unchanged.
The renaming process will include systematic updates to official documentation, statutory instruments where necessary, airport signage, digital platforms, aviation publications, and related communication materials.
The government called on stakeholders, international partners, and the general public to cooperate with relevant authorities to ensure a smooth transition. The Ministry also expressed appreciation to all stakeholders for their continued support during this process.
