Airport reopening: KIA disinfected ahead of international flights resumption

Ghana's main airport, the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) is being disinfected less than 24 hours ahead of an international flight resumption.

Meanwhile, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in his 16th address to the nation on Sunday, August 30 announced the reopening of Ghana's air borders to international traffic.

The president explained, the decision comes after a thorough work done by the Aviation Ministry, the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority, (GCAA), the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL), Ghana Health Service and the Ministry of Health.

“I am glad to announce that the Kotoka International Airport will resume operations on Tuesday, September 1, 2020. This has been communicated to all international airlines,” the president said.

The disinfection exercise, which is currently ongoing at the Departure Area of the KIA Terminal 3 is being conducted by the Zoomlion Ghana Limited and authorised by the Ghana Airport Company Limited, (GACL).
