The affected airlines, on the other hand, raised issues about the short time frame and the need to ensure that facilities at Terminal 2 were up to the highest standard since their passengers also pay a significant amount as Airport Passenger Service Charge as their other African and non-African carriers.<\/p>\n<p><b>Background<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Domestic airline operations at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) in Accra, were moved from Terminal 1 of the facility to Terminal 2, which was previously used for international operations effective on Monday, October 8, 2018.<\/p>\n<p>This follows the successful migration of all international operations from Terminal 2 to the newly- constructed Terminal 3 of the KIA.<\/p>\n<p>Passengers traveling between Accra and regional capitals with functioning airports, including Takoradi, Kumasi, Tamale, Sunyani, and Wa, were required to complete departure formalities and board their flights at Terminal 2 due to these changes.<\/p>\n<p>Terminal 1 (old domestic terminal) has been leased to McDan Aviation Ghana Limited for the operation of Private Jet services and Fixed Base Operator (FBO).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kotoka International Airport Terminal 2 The Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) plans to redesign and upgrade the interior of Terminal 2 at Kotoka International Airport, allowing it to accommodate both domestic and international travellers.
