Government Reverts Kotoka International Airport to Accra International Airport
February 24,2026
The Ministry of Transport has announced that the Government of Ghana has officially reverted the name of Kotoka International Airport to its original name, Accra International Airport.
In a press release dated February 23, 2026, the Ministry stated that the facility was originally known as Accra International Airport before it was redesignated. Government has now considered it appropriate to restore the airport to its former and internationally recognised name.
According to the statement, the renaming will not affect airport operations, safety standards, or international travel arrangements. The Ministry noted that within the records of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the airport code has consistently remained “ACC.”
The implementation process will involve systematic updates to official documentation, statutory instruments where necessary, airport signage, digital platforms, aviation publications, and related communication materials.
The Ministry called on the general public, stakeholders, and international partners to cooperate with the relevant authorities to ensure a smooth and seamless transition.
The statement was issued by the Public Relations Unit of the Ministry of Transport.
