The Ghana Airports Company Limited is pushing ahead with plans to expand and modernise facilities at Accra International Airport as part of efforts to improve passenger experience and reduce congestion.
The Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, Felix Ofosu Kwakye, on Saturday, April 4, 2025, took to his Facebook page to share artistic impressions of the proposed developments, giving the public a first look at the scale and design of the planned upgrades.
According to him, the expansion will address growing infrastructure pressure at the airport, particularly at Terminal 3, where the current car park accommodates about 513 vehicles and often becomes congested during peak hours.
“To address this, work will begin in the middle of this year on a new seven-storey, 2,000 parking bay car park,” he stated.
He added that the project will include a range of modern facilities aimed at improving the overall travel experience.
“Additional facilities will include a 4,000 square metre retail space with shops and restaurants, a sky view lounge to observe aircraft take-offs and landings, and a two-in-one airport hotel,” he said.
The planned hotel, he noted, will consist of a 250-room budget facility and a 120-room luxury hotel to cater for passengers experiencing delays or overnight stays.
“A conference facility and business centre will also be part of the development,” he added.
The images shared highlight the scale of the proposed upgrades, which form part of GACL’s broader infrastructure drive to enhance service delivery and position Accra as a leading aviation hub in the region.
