The maintenance is expected to last two years and conclude on March 30, 2027. During this period, the runway will be completely closed daily from 11:00 PM to 5:00 AM local time.
Royal Air Maroc, Turkish Airlines, Allied Air Cargo, and Ethiopian Airlines are the main airlines that will be affected by the runway closure, and they are making arrangements to ensure their operations continue without disruption.
The Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL), in a letter dated October 23, 2024, and signed by the Managing Director, Mrs Yvonne Nana Afriyie Opare, informed airlines about the runway closure times due to the upcoming runway overlay works at the Kotoka International Airport. The GACL noted that it will make available to airlines a detailed schedule of the works and a contact list for key personnel involved in due course.
