President John Dramani Mahama has cut the sod for the construction of an interconnecting concourse between Terminals 2 and 3 at Accra International Airport, marking the start of a major infrastructure expansion aimed at easing congestion and strengthening Ghana’s position as a leading aviation hub in West Africa.
The President was joined by Deputy Minister of Transport, Dorcas Affo-Toffey her sector minister, Joseph Bukari Nikpe foreign affairs minister, Samuel Okudzato Ablakwa and other ministers of state.
This strategic development will significantly enhance operational efficiency at the premier aviation hub, ensuring faster connections, smoother passenger transfers, and an improved travel experience for all who pass through our nation’s gateway.
Under the leadership of President Mahama, the government, through the Ministry of Transport, remains resolute in its commitment to delivering modern, world-class infrastructure.
This has set in motion a major infrastructure expansion aimed at easing congestion and strengthening Ghana’s position as a leading aviation hub in West Africa.
President Mahama underscored that the project goes beyond symbolism, describing it as a strategic investment in efficiency, passenger experience, and the long-term economic future of the country.
He noted that the steady rise in passenger traffic from 1.8 million in 2022 to 2.5 million in 2025 reflects Ghana’s growing connectivity and increasing appeal as a travel destination.
While acknowledging the progress, President Mahama pointed to rising operational pressures, particularly during peak hours, where congestion continues to affect key airport services.
He stressed that urgent interventions were necessary to prevent further strain on efficiency and service delivery.
