GACL board and management conclude regional airport inspections

The Board and Senior Management of the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) have successfully concluded a nationwide tour and inspection of all regional airports, marking a strong start to activities for 2026.

The purpose of the tour was to conduct a comprehensive needs assessment of airport operations across the regions and to engage key stakeholders at the regional level.

As part of the exercise, the Board and Management paid courtesy calls on Regional Ministers and toured airport facilities with them.

During the inspections, the issue of land encroachment affecting some regional airport lands was identified, particularly in Wa, Sunyani, and Kumasi. In response, GACL sought the support and intervention of the respective Regional Ministers to address these challenges.
