    The new international arrivals and departures is a great experience now. The airport is bigger, better and more organized than before. In the middle of covid travels, the airport has adopted a structure that makes embarking, covid testing and immigration checks well streamlines and easy to go through. I think I love the experience here

    This is about the best airport in west Africa. Its very orderly decent and clean. I like how well planned and spacious it is. The trolley service and use is free in comparison to some other airports I've passed through in west Africa. Accessibility signs are well marked out. I also noticed there are wheel chairs around for passengers use. The immigration here would be very strict but on point.

    Arriving...........a complete nightmare, two and a half hours getting out of the place.......due to having to take another silly covid test (in case i somehow got it off the pilot or someone else on the plane), then people having to look at my passport again and again and again.......... after a long flight the last thing one wants is to be stuck in long queues. Interesting that the Covid test had a huge mark up for foreigners....... On departure, much better.......bag drop, covid test, rearranging of flights, walking around and killing time, all fine..........and everything went smooth. So a contrast On the aesthetics, its a decent looking airport, nice and spacious, with the right amount of small restaurants and cafes and shops

    Kotoka International Airport (KIA), was originally a military airport used by the British Royal Air Force during World War II in 1946. The facility was handed over to civilian authority after a successful pull-out by the military. In response to globalization and the growing demand for air travel at the time, a development project was launched to reconfigure the structure into a terminal building in 1956.The airport occupies 1610 acres (651 hectares) within the city of Accra, and is about 10 kilometres from the City Centre. The reference point co-ordinates are 05° 35’ 47” North Latitude by 000° 10’ 12” West longitude. Elevation is 63.5m (205 ft). K.I.A’s central location in the world, (on the Greenwich Meridian and close to the Equator) makes it easily accessible from any part of the world.In 2013, GACL embarked on a complete strategic redirection with a focus on upgrading and transforming Kotoka International Airport (KIA) and the domestic airports to conform with current trends in aviation infrastructure and service delivery. The new strategic direction aligned perfectly with the corporate vision of positioning Ghana as the Preferred Aviation Hub and leader in Airport business in West Africa.In 2014, work commenced on the expansion of the arrival to ease the congestion experienced during peak hours. Currently, the existing floor area of the arrival hall has been expanded by 5,148m2. Additional works include electrical installations, fire detection and protection systems, provision and installation of two new baggage handling equipment to bring to four the number of baggage carousels in the arrival hall, provision and installation of twenty-six immigration booths, 10 e-gates, a moving walkway, new air-condition systems among others. Other works include the creation of a Data Centre, transit lounge and additional floors to serve as offices for GACL and other stakeholders at the airport. The existing terminal building has also witnessed some improvements as part of the transformation process. These include the replacement of the escalator with two new ones, the installation of two new lifts, refurbishment of washrooms and the re-roofing of the entire terminal building.

    The new terminal at Kotoka International Airport in only a few years old. It's a big upgrade with more space, faster movement of passengers to check in, a wider range of shopping and food. It's also great that they have covid TESTING centers at the airport.

    Kotoka Airport is really neat and tidy. Very well organised, didn't experience unnecessary delays. The restrooms are clean and have a very cheerful manager who welcomes you to the rest room and keeps asking if you need any help or support. The airport staff are polite and keep things moving as they should. They also do not beg for money like some other airports 🫥

    The bye bye moment Bidding farewell to family to a foreign land is not as easy as it's shown in the movies most especially when you consider the love and sacrifices that was combined to make your journey a success. Same is coming to meet a returning relative. Oo what joy that gladens the heart ❤️💜 It's my prayer we all experience the later in goodwill. Cheers to the travelling souls

    Nice country to visit, their airport security was very strong and commendable, and the cleanliness of the airport environment was nice. I really had a great time using their airport, and going to their country five years ago. Their government is really improving in security and infrastructural development in Ghana.

    Was at the Terminal Two parking lot to run the Covid Test at the LEding Medical laboratory. The place needed an uplifting though it is not in a poor state. Perhaps more interior decoration will do. The bar on the premises needs to be run over though. ☺

    Modern, clean airport with very friendly and helpful staff. The lounge serves nice coffee and a small variety of food, but you first need to walk a bit to find the lounges.

    I had a long struggle between giving it four or five star. The airport is good. The staff are relatively great, the systems are kinda working well. I hope that would continue for long. Can get a little rowdy at peak periods, but way better than Lagos airport. The Airport is not much of a hassle.

    The newly constructed and commissioned terminal 3 of the Kotoka International Airport, Ghana is so beautiful and modern. It was exquisitely finished and well arranged to suit passengers needs. It has modern airport designs, facilities and equipment. It is neat and well organized. The staff, from ticketing to border control are very polite and well structured. There are available seats for passengers use, neat and tidy rest room facilities and well illuminated environment all through. The car park is very well organized and the cab drivers have prepared list with destinations and fixed prices for fair treatment to all. When you get to the Kotoka International Airport, you can indeed say AKWAABA!

    Sweet experience at the airport from arrival and when I finally departed back to my country it was all amazing.. They've got a whole lot of civilised facilities compared to what some other International Airports have. I Really commend the Management for their Goodworks.

    This place is rife with incompetence! My passport was withheld at Kotoka International Airport because of an alleged positive COVID test. (That whole testing ideal is also a scam whereby travelers fund the pockets of the gatekeepers because they don’t follow their own COVID procedures besides asking people to wear a mask) I have returned to the airport per their instruction to retrieve my passport but I have now been waiting 3 hours without my passport. See the images below! The process is medieval: you have just two individuals working to return hundreds of travelers their passport and the service is very lax and slow. One person *literally* takes their own time to walk upstairs to sort through passports and when they bring the passport back they insist on being the one to give the passports to hundreds of travelers before that same individual would walk upstairs with another pile to sort through passports and come downstairs. This individual won’t give me her name when I asked for it and got upset by grabbing my phone when I tried to then take a photo. For a place that supposed to be a major airport, this is pathetic. Nowhere else have I experienced this.

    Akwaaba 😊 Kotoka International Airport is an international airport in Accra, the capital of Ghana. It is the sole international airport in Ghana. The airport consists of two passenger terminals, Terminal 2 and Terminal 3. Terminal 2 serves only domestic flights, while Terminal 3 serves regional, international operators. I used this airport during visit of Ghana. Used both terminals international and domestic. Although services are very limited especially in domestic side. But i liked the peaceful environment. I didn't face any problem there. Yɛbɛhyia bio Long live Ghana

    Terminal 3 of Kotaka International Airport is an awe-inspiring sight that captivates you upon your first glimpse. Its expansive layout boasts an array of facilities, ranging from elevators and disability devices to efficient security checks and hassle-free check-in procedures for your flights. Both the arrival and departure halls exude a remarkable sense of spaciousness and are consistently maintained in immaculate condition. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to deem it one of the finest airports in West Africa.

    ⚠️ - Yellow Card May Be Required Kotoka Airport is an excellent place to travel because it looks modern and clean. The people who work there are friendly and helpful, making checking in and going through security easy. However, I didn't know about they required a yellow card, which cost me extra money. So, it's essential to check all the requirements before you go. Overall, I had a good experience and would recommend Kotoka Airport for future travel.

    The airport experience was smooth,fun and you meet a lot of friends and families happily travelling, either been thier first or continuous trips. From check-in to security was Cool. The staff was helpful, and the facilities were clean. Boarding was organized, and the flight departed on time. Overall, a hassle-free travel experience.

  • 3/5 David Edem D. 2 years ago on Google
    Local airport is pretty cool. It needs directions as to where the various airline check ins are so you don’t have to walk to the wrong desk if you haven’t been there in a while. But all in all it’s a cool space. Has a cafe upstairs, Vida E and another bar at the far right end. Tried the croissant, custard filled, it was okay. The caramel coffee latte was bleh. They could do better

    The Swiss Port cargo place is quite structured well compared to Aviance in my experience. And if you ever need a clearing agent for any kind of cargo i highly recommend skylink logistics. Very very efficient.

  • 4/5 Marble G. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice airport, but I wish there were direct flights from southern Africa to Ghana, instead of going to Ethiopia first. However, Kotoka Airport is great!

  • 1/5 Samuel O. 2 months ago on Google • 8 reviews New
    Went to Ghana with my wife, had a great reception by all staff and the place was very clean and welcoming but upon returning back to the U.S, my wife being a white American received the most terrible treatment from the airport security because she didn’t bribe them nor tip them while others were putting money I. The bowls to get easy passage. Male security staff were going through her personal female belongings in her purse and displaying them disrespectfully to everybody at the airport while female staff were present to conduct such search. Very unprofessional staff at the security check in point and too much corruption and bribery going on that needs necessary attention. Tips are given, not taken or asked for through harassment.

    Kotoka Airport is not bad at all but I think the airport needs a bit of a maintenance check. Trolley ads are outdated, some signs also have missing alphabets. Staff was friendly and helped us out because we were travelling with kids.

  • 3/5 Eze O. 2 years ago on Google
    If you're travelling out of Ghana, best flight to get on would be the early morning flight; fewer people, ergo you get sorted out on time. If you're coming into Ghana, same thing...avoid late-night flights. Airline employees, airport security...all very courteous, at least as far as I know.

  • 3/5 James L. 1 year ago on Google
    I spent WAY too much time in this hotel over the past few days… from waiting for friends to leave to waiting for my own late-night flight, I have seen as much of this airport as I care to for awhile. Overall, it’s a nice airport - very clean, lots of washrooms, and a great temperature compared to the outside. However, I had a couple of interactions with workers that were less than positive. Most often they were telling me that I couldn’t sit on the floor where I was sitting (this happened multiple times). But before security there are not many seating options, hence why I had picked the floor… Make sure you get there with plenty of time before your flight because both the check-in line and the security line moved at a snail’s pace! Once through security, there wasn’t much - a few shops and some relatively cheap lounges.

    The environment is of world class standard. The Terminal 3 was really a great contraction work done by.... His Excellency John Draman Mahama / NDC Party. But the car parking area is very expressive. I payed Gh25.00 for only 3 -- 4 hours of waiting at the car park while i work at one of the shops at the Airport.

    It’s a beautiful airport, but be careful with departures. If you’re checking in and you have to give them your card to pay for excess or anything else, be very watchful. They can use your card fraudulently. I had this experience with United Airlines. They charged my card twice, thinking I wouldn’t notice. One was for the excess luggage and the other charge was payment to a retail store.
