Progress \nhas been made in the reconstruction of the Kumasi Airport to international \nstandard, with progress of work on the phase two at 36 per cent.<\/p>\n
The \nproject, which involves the extension of the runway from 1,981 metres to 2,300 \nmetres, construction of a new terminal building, \nconstruction of additional aprons and other ancillary works, is expected to \naccommodate Boeing 737-800 series aircrafts.<\/p>\n
On completion, the new terminal will have the capacity to handle one million passengers per annum who could travel directly from Kumasi to Turkey, Egypt, England or Italy, Jorge Tavarez, Project Manager of Contracta Construction UK working on the project, said.<\/p>\nThe Regional Minister and the KMA Boss with others <\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Speaking \nat a presentation during a visit to the project site by the Ashanti Regional \nMinister \u2013 Simon Osei-Mensah, Mr Tavarez said for those who would like to \ntravel to US, Canada or the Asian countries would have to make transit in \nAccra.<\/p>\n
According \nto him, the construction of additional aprons would provide more parking spaces \nfor about 25 aircraft, indicating that the entire project is scheduled to \ncomplete within a period of 38 months.<\/p>\n
He \nstated that Contracta Construction UK looked forward to seeing the signing of \nthe phase three contract since the phase two project would be completed by \nNovember 2020.<\/p>\n
Mr \nOsei-Mensah, who toured the project site in the company of the Kumasi Mayor \u2013 \nOsei Assibey Antwi, lauded the contractors for the progress and quality of work \ndone.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m \nvery impressed with the quality of work done so far,\u201d the minister stressed and \nadded that even though he is a layman, the kind of construction seen at the \nsite points to good work.<\/p>\n
He \nwas convinced the contractors would be able to finish in record time and prayed \nfor the phase three contract to be signed on time.<\/p>\n
The minister said the Kumasi Airport project, upon completion, would ease the burden of the travelling public of having to go to the capital city and rent accommodation. <\/p>\n
