President Akufo-Addo has announced that the redevelopment of Kumasi International Airport is set to be completed and fully operationalised by May this year. 

The president was speaking during the State of the Nation Address in Parliament on Tuesday, February 27, 2024. 

He said the airport, which stands at an 98% completion rate, once operational will serve as a vital hub for regional connectivity, tourism, and trade in the Ashanti Region and beyond.

He said government priority to complete the airport reflects its determination to position the country as a leader in aviation excellence on the African continent.
