Discover The $300 Million Kumasi International Airport. 
Before Tamale International Airport, Kumasi Airport, which serves Kumasi, the capital of the Ashanti Region in Ghana, is the busiest municipal airport in Ghana. Kumasi is roughly 3.5 kilometers from the airport. Although approval was gained in 1940, the documentation for land acquisition was not finalized and paid for until 1947. Kumasi Airport, on the other hand, had been finished by 1943. The Ghana government invested heavily in the runway, navigational infrastructure, and personnel resources in 1958 and 1959 to improve internal airline operations. In the late 1970s, the Kumasi Airport saw another major upgrade with the installation of runway and taxiway lights, as well as the extension of the main runway to the southern end. While the lights improved night operations, the runway expansion allowed short-haul planes like the F28 to fly. The renovation effort was finished with the construction of a new Terminal and the installation of a VOR/DME, which was commissioned on December 1, 1993. Kumasi International Airport was designated as an international airport in 2003, primarily for regional operations, with full security, customs, and immigration employees. The freshly renovated runway with Aeronautical Ground Lighting Systems was inaugurated in December 2014. Domestic airlines were able to start operating at night as a result of this. The airport's Master Plan is currently being studied. Additional parking aprons, runway expansion, and the construction of a new terminal building, all of which are expected to cost around $300 million, are among the projects planned for the next phase.
