Mahama to cut sod for seven-storey airport car park, hotel complex
President John Dramani Mahama is expected to cut the sod by the end of August 2026 for the construction of a seven-storey multi-purpose car park and airport hotel complex at the Accra International Airport.
The project, being undertaken by the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL), is aimed at expanding infrastructure and improving passenger facilities at Ghana’s main aviation hub.
It follows the relocation of the existing Terminal 3 car park to make way for the new development, which is expected to be completed within 24 months.
Managing Director of GACL, Yvonne Nana Afriyie Opare, disclosed the plans during a visit by Parliament’s Committee on Roads and Transportation to the airport.
She said preliminary activities had commenced, with the contractor mobilising to site ahead of the formal sod-cutting ceremony.
“We’ve started this project, we’ve handed over to the contractor and they are mobilising to site now as we speak. They are going to be starting the hoarding off of this site, and at the end of this month, God willing, we would invite His Excellency the President to come and cut sod.”
She added that construction would proceed after the ceremony, with the facility expected to be ready within two years.
“Then we will continue the construction and, God willing, in 24 months from now, this project should be up and will be commissioned,” she said.
According to GACL, the project is intended to address the growing demand for parking facilities at the airport while introducing hospitality services to improve the passenger experience.
The seven-storey complex is expected to increase parking capacity and provide an airport hotel, as the company continues to expand facilities at the country’s busiest international airport.
The development is part of broader efforts to improve infrastructure at the Accra International Airport and accommodate increasing passenger and operational demands.
