Kumasi International Airport to begin operations by end of June

The Kumasi International Airport is expected to begin full operations by the end of June this year as the government has announced that the project will be commissioned by the end of May.

Transport Minister, Kwaku Ofori Asiamah who toured the project with management and Board Members of the Ghana Airport Company Limited on Tuesday expressed satisfaction about the progress but raised concerns about long-term maintenance of the facility.

He called on the government to address obstacles impeding the progress of the Boankra Inland Port while simultaneously working towards operationalising the Kumasi International Airport.

“The progress on the Airport project is commendable but the Inland Port project is also at a slow pace

The coming in of the Inland Port and the International Airport with the railway will boost the economy.

“The Inland Port project has been delayed

Even if it means to get a share of the IMF loan to complete the Inland Port project, it is possible,” he said.
