The Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) has completed improvements to the signage at Accra International Airport following public criticism on Friday, March 20, 2026.

The exercise, which involved repainting and general enhancements, was finalized on Saturday morning, March 21, 2026, after initial works extended beyond the scheduled completion date.

In a statement, it stated that the project was not fully completed as scheduled on Friday; however, all outstanding works have now been concluded.

“The fixing of Accra International Airport signage has now been completed, including paint works...The work was not fully completed yesterday, but it is now done this morning,” GACL said.

"These works are done at night after the last flight due to the height and impact on the car park area in order not to inconvenience the public and travelling passengers," it added.

The company expressed appreciation to the public for its feedback, noting that citizen engagement plays a vital role in improving service delivery.

“Thanks to all for the concern. We continue to encourage constructive feedback, which helps with our service delivery,” GACL noted.

Accra Airport signage sparks outrage as netizens slam 'shoddy' work

It may be recalled that the government recently changed the name of the airport from Kotoka International Airport to Accra International Airport.

Following the rebrand, the new signage was officially unveiled on March 20, 2026.

In a series of videos and images circulating online, netizens expressed disappointment in the government and GACL over the installation of the new signage.

According to a section of social media users, the failure to properly remove or repaint old markings before installing the new signage is disrespectful and embarrassing for the country.
