The Minister of Transport, Kwaku Ofori Asiamah has inspected on-going rehabilitation and expansion works at the Sunyani Airport.
The Airport was closed down in 2015 due to the poor state of infrastructure and deplorable condition of the runway.
The contractor has pegged the progress of work on the facility at 95 percent, and expected to be completed in May, this year.
Mr. Asiamah said the work is in line with Government’s vision to develop and promote domestic airline services.
He expressed discomfort with the level of encroachment around the Airport, and warned encroachers that they will face ejection.
The Managing Director of Ghana Airport Company Limited, Yaw Kwakwa, told the GNA that works on the facility included fixing of fittings and minor works on the terminal building, and expansion and upgrading of the runway.
He said the runway had been extended from 1,280 metres to 1,520 metres, while its width had been broadened to cover 45 metres.
