Let's hope that the maintenance would be first class and security beef up to prevent drug dealers flying smaller aircrafts etc into the new airport as they do in Mali and Guinea Bissau.

Two questions for Afua Schwarzenegger 1)why would she have to smuggle her own biological kids to Namibia before flying them to Ghana if they have a Ghanaian passports ? If they're truly her kids, 2)since she said the husband was already dead, who was she fighting with for the custody of her own biological children? The state of South Africa or the husband family? Because is only the husband who has the legal rights to do that only maybe on the ground seperation or divorce in which 80% of such cases goes in favor of the women 3 How was she able to cross about 12 police post + 6 immigration checks if she was not having a passport of those lil kids by then? 4)Afua was still a Ghanaian when she was in south Africa so her kids were still a Ghanaian till they reach 18+ before they can choose a state they want, so why can't she flew them from south Africa to Ghana directly but smuggling them through Namibia coz I know we have Ghana Embassy in South Africa whom she can process their document? ,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,

Afua must come out clean about those boys and the story behind them because there are some fishy smell around Afua's story,,,, Waiting the answers Afua

I wonder how the Starbow ChiefExecutive could laud this idea of Tamale Airport being designated as next alternative to KIA: Most businesses are scattered at the southern half of the country. With proper feasibility and other assessments it is obvious that an alternative Port should be sited at an equal-distant location with well developped communication systems.
The fact that Accra is the capital of Ghana is not in dispute but it is located at the southern tip of the country and the Railways have been allowed to ground to a halt. Passengers and goods moving outside of Accra must necessarily have to go through badly maintained roads to Takoradi, Sunyani and of course to the North. By siting the next International Airport at Tamale in the North some 600 miles from Accra is hazzardous enough. Our Domestic Flights to Tamale are subjected to hazardous harmattan between December and March - 4 months of uncertainty of continuous operations. The Ghana Civil Aviation Authority should know better to advise Government that some central point, not necessarily Kumasi but Juaso, Konongo, Obuasi, could have provided a better alternative to Kumasi, Tamale or Sunyani.

i think you really should have also known better. i appreciate the angle you are coming from cos its clear u are yet to understand what pulls or drives development
with regards to the harmattan.... hmmm note that the north is not the only place affected and you should try to avail yourself to what is happening internationally with regards to the aviation sector and weather challenges....so using harmattan as an excuse not to cite the airport in tamale would be very flemsy...

What about we have international airport in every region if that can help,what is wrong having international airport in Tamale,why not ask the government to extend that to all parts of the country as in other countries instead of attacking this one because it is not in our region?
Having international airport in Kumasi,Tamale,Ho,Koforidua,Kumasi and others does not necessarily mean airlines will fly directly to those places just for the mere fact that they are international airports.

I also don't agree with that guy that Tamale will be the next alternative to Kotoka,an hour away,in the interim yes but should not be for the future,we can have more than two or three,even small Togo has 2 international airports.
Anyway,Tamale is not 600 miles from Accra,it is only 500km.

The airport in Tamale has been there for years and it's now being elevated to an international status (whatever that means). It has operated operated during the harmattan seasons in all those years. Therefore, your attempt to use the harmattan as the reason not to base an international airport in the Tamale is lame and disingenuous. Economic development is badly needed in the region, as construction of an international airport in Tamale will result in the creation of jobs and spurring economic growth in the region. Your choice of Konongo, Obuasi as better alternatives to Kumasi, all in the Ashanti region and not Tamale, reveals your true color. Objective observer, you are not.
