Kumasi Airport have really come a long way in terms of infrastructure redevelopment and reconstruction. Formerly it was a military base until It was changed to an airport in 1999.

The airport has undergone several renovation and expansion projects to help push its status as an international airport. The Kumasi Airport attained its international status in 2014. However, the airport only operated on a regional level even though it had the full complement of security, customs, and immigration staff in place since 2003.

In 2013, the Government of Ghana embarked upon a phased development of the Kumasi Airport to provide the requisite infrastructure for safe domestic and international operations to ensure safety and comfort for passengers whilst ensuring Ghana had a fully functioning international airport along with Kotoka International Airport upgrades to become help ensure its status as international airport.

The Kumasi International Airport is set for operations in August this year, two months ahead of its scheduled completion date.

Below are some current photos of the Airport;

In 2021, the airport handled over 400,000 passengers making it the second busiest airport in Ghana after Kotoka International Airport in Accra.
