What would an international airline be doing there? No passengers. It was waste of money to rehabilitate the airport. Kumasi did not deserve an airport, anyway!

James, I know you just want people to react to your comment but to be sincere with you if Kumasi Airport was indeed rebuilt into an international airport trust me it will compete very strongly with Kotoka International airport. To tell us that $29m has been spent on this airport is indeed an insult to right thinking Ghanaians. They could have built a much better modern airport with this money. It is a shame they this government is wasting our money. It's very very sad.

It is said that "when in Rome, do what the Romans do" . In the same breathe most people who visit Accra become naturally warm, cordial, respectful and less intimidating. They will even give you the master bedroom and sleep agbonaa or asaanor. This sort of hospitality can never be replicated in the Ashanti region. For this and only this reason, the forced nomenclature "Kumari international airport" would only remain an appeasement, never a reality. Thank God for Accra, Ghana would have been just another "brick in the wall"

If there is a cargo focused airline that is going to fly from London to Kumasi, that could be a sensible business model. Passenger traffic will never be the same.

Talking about Kumasi Airport, it is an aerodrome. It's not even an airport yet, let alone becoming an international airport.

Dear Madam Attivor, even you should know by now that upgrading an airport does not automatically attracts business. It needs international listings and target marketing abroad through an appropriate agent. With no doubt that a second airport in the city of Kumasi is massive progress in your quest to improve the aviation industry in Ghana. Your next target is to build a new airport for Accra because KIA is diabolic and trust me the poorest airport even in Africa among our competitors or you just ask the foreigners who pass through it.

Baseless and senseless argument. You should suggest building a new South of Ghana INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT somewhere else such as Prampram or Dodowa with a super highway or underground shuttle connection to the capital. If I were mayor or greater Accra minister, this is what I would embark upon. People still my ideas all the time unfortunately they can never implement, because it is a mental and I ate character driven.

We cannot have Kotoka International Airport with the abbreviation (KIA) and Kumasi International Airport with the same KIA.
Airline reservations are made mostly with these abbreviations and having two KIA in our country does not help. Since Kotoka has been our gateway, I suggest we name Kumasi airport Otumfuo International Airport. The name Otumfuo is great to market and a great brand for accessories to tourist visiting or using the airport.
