Kumasi International Airport project completed, handed over to government

Contractors working on the Kumasi International Airport has handed over the project to the Ghana Airport Company Limited (GACL) through the Ministry of Transport.

This was during the inspection and testing of the terminal facilities by officials from the Ministry of Transport and the GACL, led by Mr Kwaku Ofori Asiamah, on Tuesday.

Mr Asiamah, who was impressed with the work done by the contractors so far, expressed optimism that the airfields would also be completed within the short possible time by the contractor.

He explained that GACL was going to intensify maintenance culture to ensure durability since most facilities in the country faced maintenance deficits.

The Minister was hopeful that the facility would be commissioned before the end of May 2024.

Mrs Yvonne Nana Afriyie Opare, Managing Director of GACL, lauded the quality of work done after testing, and prayed that God continued to guide the sustainability of the facility.

Nana Ametepe, the Resident engineer/consultant for GACL took the team to various operational departments of the facility such as the information desk, profiling box, VVIP lounge, wrapping area, luggage scanning rooms and others.
