The government has officially reverted the name of Kotoka International Airport to its original name, Accra International Airport.
In a press release dated February 23, 2026, the Ministry of Transport announced that the decision restores the airport to its former and internationally recognised name.
The Ministry’s Public Relations Unit explains that the facility was originally known as Accra International Airport before it was redesignated, and the government considers it appropriate to return to the original name.
According to the PR Unit, the change will not affect airport operations, safety standards, or international travel arrangements. The airport code “ACC” remains unchanged in the records of the International Civil Aviation Organisation.
The Ministry says implementation will involve updates to official documents, statutory instruments where necessary, airport signage, digital platforms, aviation publications, and related communication materials.
The general public, stakeholders, and international partners are being urged to cooperate with authorities to ensure a smooth transition.
The Ministry of Transport has expressed appreciation for the continued support of all stakeholders.
