The Ministry of Transport has announced that the government has officially reverted the name of Kotoka International Airport to its original designation, Accra International Airport.
In a press statement issued by the Ministry on Monday, the facility was originally known as Accra International Airport before its redesignation, and the government has deemed it appropriate to restore the airport to its former and internationally recognised name.
The statement clarified that the change will not affect airport operations, safety standards, or international travel arrangements. Notably, the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) has consistently maintained the airport code “ACC” in its records.
It noted that implementation of the renaming will involve a systematic update of official documentation, statutory instruments where necessary, airport signage, digital platforms, aviation publications, and related communication materials.
The Ministry has appealed to the general public, stakeholders, and international partners to support and cooperate with the relevant authorities to ensure a smooth and seamless transition.
