Kumasi Airport closed down

The Kumasi Airport has been shut down temporarily for repair works to be undertaken on the runway.

Airport officials have confirmed to XYZ News that gaping potholes on the runway will be sealed during the repair works.

It is unclear how long the temporary closure will take.

Stranded passengers have been given back their fares to make alternative travel plans.

Meanwhile, security and haulage officials will today move the entire wreckage of the cargo plane that crashed in June from the el wak stadium.
