President John Dramani Mahama is scheduled to break ground on Thursday, August 27, 2026, for a multi‑storey car park and airport hotel complex at Accra International Airport. The development will feature a seven‑storey car park with over 2,000 bays, two hotels, a pedestrian link to the terminal, a shopping mall with a food court, retail outlets, and office space for lease. It will also include a sky lounge and an observation deck offering views of aircraft landings and take‑offs.
Announcing the sod‑cutting on Tuesday, Minister of State for Government Communications Felix Kwakye Ofosu explained that the project is designed to combine modern parking facilities with hospitality, retail, and entertainment amenities, positioning the airport as a more integrated travel hub.
The Managing Director of of the Ghana Airport Company Limited (GACL), Mrs Yvonne Nana Afriyie Opare, had earlier told Parliament’s Committee on Roads and Transportation that the existing Terminal 3 car park, with space for only 513 vehicles, was insufficient for current passenger numbers.
She said the contractor for the new facility had already begun mobilising to site. The project is expected to be completed within 24 months and is being financed through the Airport Infrastructure Development Charge, a levy on departing passengers which took effect in April 2026.
