In Ghana, Kotoka International Airport has officially been renamed Accra International Airport. The decision was announced in a statement issued by the Ministry of Transport on Monday, February 23, 2026.

The airport was originally known as Accra International Airport before it was renamed Kotoka Airport. Transport authorities say it was appropriate to revert to the former and internationally recognized name.

Government officials assured the public that the renaming process will involve systematic updates to official documentation, statutory instruments, airport signage, digital platforms, aviation publications, and other related communication materials.

Authorities emphasized that the name change will not affect airport operations, safety standards, or international travel arrangements.
