Ghana is advancing several aviation infrastructure projects. In late August 2026, President John Dramani Mahama announced plans to break ground on a multi-purpose development at the Accra International Airport. This seven-storey complex is designed to mitigate parking shortages and provide hospitality services, featuring over 2,000 parking bays, two hotels, a shopping mall, and a pedestrian bridge connecting to the terminal.

By mid-September 2026, focus expanded to regional connectivity as the President announced that full funding has been secured for a new modern airport in Wa. The Ghana Airports Company Limited has completed the procurement process for this project, which aims to replace the current airstrip with a facility capable of 24-hour operations. The new Wa airport is expected to reduce travel time to Accra and support regional agribusiness and tourism.
