The Ministry of Transport has commenced expansion works at Terminal 2 of the Kotoka International Airport (KIA), a move aimed at decongesting Terminal 3, which has been grappling with surging passenger volumes.
According to the Ministry, Terminal 2 will now serve both domestic and international flights, with operations scheduled to roll out in two distinct phases.
This strategic decision, announced jointly with the management of KIA, is part of broader efforts to upgrade infrastructure and enhance operational efficiency at Ghana’s busiest airport.
Speaking during a working visit to the facility, Transport Minister Joseph Nikpe Bukari stressed the urgency of the intervention.
“If you visit Terminal 3 at rush hour time, you will realise that we have congestion there. So, we have partitioned Terminal 2 into two phases; one for domestic, and where we are currently standing, for international flights,” he said.
“So that we can be able to bring some loads from Terminal 3 here, thereby decongesting Terminal 3 to have that kind of comfort and space for our travelers.”
The Ministry has expressed confidence that the revamped Terminal 2 will significantly enhance the passenger experience and accommodate future growth in traffic.
