Aeropuerto de Kotoka Int'l (ACC)

Kotoka International Airport (IATA: ACC; ICAO: DGAA) is the primary aviation gateway serving Accra, the bustling capital city of Ghana, nestled along the Gulf of Guinea in West Africa. Established in the 1950s and originally named Accra International, the airport was later renamed to honor Lieutenant General Emmanuel Kwasi Kotoka, a prominent Ghanaian military leader.

As an international airport, Kotoka plays a crucial role in connecting Ghana to the global community. Strategically located just 10 kilometers from Accra’s central business district, it serves not only the nation but also as a key regional hub for West Africa. Modernized over the years, the airport now boasts two terminals equipped to handle both international and domestic flights. Terminal 3, a cutting-edge addition inaugurated in 2018, has significantly bolstered its capacity and efficiency.

Kotoka International Airport accommodates a substantial volume of air traffic, with over 37 airlines operating and offering flights to numerous destinations across Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and North America. Annual passenger numbers have been steadily rising, reflecting Ghana's growing importance as a travel and business destination. The airport handled approximately 3 million passengers in recent years, and this figure continues to grow as economic prospects in Ghana expand.

Modern amenities, including a variety of dining options, duty-free shopping, and business lounges, ensure a comfortable experience for travelers. The airport also takes pride in its enhanced security measures and commitment to providing exceptional service, cementing its status as a vital node in both regional and international air travel networks.
