The Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) has dismissed two car park workers at the Accra International Airport following allegations that they extorted money from passengers.

The dismissals form part of measures by the airport operator to curb extortion and other forms of misconduct while improving the passenger experience.

GACL Managing Director Yvonne Nana Afriyie Opare disclosed this on Tuesday, August 4, 2026, during a visit to the airport by Parliament’s Committee on Roads and Transportation.

According to her, the two workers were dismissed after management received repeated complaints from passengers and identified those allegedly involved in the practice.

“Just about two weeks ago, we’ve had two people expelled from the airport, car park workers who asked passengers for money. And instantly, because we were able to identify and zero in on the specific people, we were able to have them leave the airport immediately. So we are asking the general public to help us address these issues,” she said.

Opare said GACL remained committed to eliminating extortion and other inappropriate conduct at the airport to ensure passengers enjoyed a safe and seamless experience.

She urged members of the public to report any incidents of extortion or misconduct by airport staff to enable management to take swift disciplinary action.

The latest dismissals are part of broader efforts by GACL to improve service delivery and strengthen accountability at the country’s busiest international gateway.
