The Ministry of Transport has announced that the Government of Ghana 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 stated that the decision restores the facility to the name it bore before it was redesignated. According to the statement, the airport was originally known as Accra International Airport prior to being renamed, and government has deemed it appropriate to return it to its former and internationally recognised name.
The Ministry assured the public that the renaming will not affect airport operations, safety standards, or international travel arrangements. It emphasised that within the records of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), the airport code has consistently remained “ACC,” meaning there will be no changes to flight operations or aviation protocols as a result of the decision.
Implementation of the new name will involve a systematic update of official documentation, statutory instruments where necessary, airport signage, digital platforms, aviation publications, and other related communication materials.
The Ministry has appealed to the general public, stakeholders, and international partners to cooperate with the relevant authorities to ensure a smooth and seamless transition. It also expressed appreciation for the continued support of all stakeholders throughout the process.
The statement was issued by the Public Relations Unit of the Ministry of Transport.
