The Government of Ghana has officially changed the name of Kotoka International Airport back to Accra International Airport.
In a statement issued by the Ministry, the government explained that the airport was originally known as Accra International Airport before it was later renamed.
The Ministry said it is appropriate to restore the airport to its former and internationally recognised name.
According to the statement, the change of name will not affect airport operations, safety standards, or international travel arrangements. The Ministry also noted that in the records of the International Civil Aviation Organization, the airport’s code has always remained “ACC”.
The renaming process will include updating official documents, statutory instruments where necessary, airport signposts, digital platforms, aviation publications, and other communication materials.
The government has appealed to the public, stakeholders, and international partners to support the relevant authorities to ensure a smooth transition.
The Ministry expressed appreciation to all stakeholders for their continued cooperation and support.

The government has disgraced all Ewes.
How so
Kotoka was an Ewe man, I guess you didn’t know. In the minds of many they thought he was Akan man.
Tribalism is the reason we are suffering
Traitors should not be rewarded ,were influenced by outsiders who never wanted the progress of Ghana znd look at where we are
When is the Capital moving back to Cape Coast?
Mind as well.
Since the government has 2/3 majority, the change of name must be entrenched in the constitution so no future government can touch it.
Should there be any plans to move the administrative capital from Accra, then it should be sent to Kintampo the center of Ghana so people coming from the North, South, East and West will travel equidistance
I saw someone say the government has disgraced all Ewes. Like seriously? Just because he was Ewe so you think all Ewes will be ashamed of the rename? Why do we even have to make this about tribalism? As someone who is Ewe, I can tell you that we don’t give a flying f. about the name change. Thank you.
Is this really needed
I hope it has changed for better.
