New Look Kotoka International Airport VIP Lounge Set To Open On This Day | Refurbishment works underway at the VIP Lounge of Kotoka International Airport (KIA) is progressing very fast.
The upgraded facility is expected to reopen in about four months, according to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.
In a post on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, the Minister said he inspected the ongoing refurbishment of the VIP block at Kotoka International Airport, which is under the supervision of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and serves as a key reception point for high-profile guests, diplomats, investors, and eminent tourists visiting Ghana.
Mr. Ablakwa noted that the project aims to give the VIP Lounge a modern transformation, reflecting Ghana’s image as an attractive destination for diplomacy, investment and tourism. He stressed that the lounge often forms the first impression of the country for distinguished visitors, making its upgrade a strategic priority.
The Minister emphasised that the refurbishment is being carried out at no cost to the Ghanaian taxpayer. Instead, funding has been mobilised through corporate sponsorships, secured as part of corporate social responsibility initiatives aligned with President John Dramani Mahama’s Reset Agenda.
When completed, the revamped VIP Lounge will incorporate strong Ghanaian cultural elements, with local creatives invited to contribute to the interior design and overall aesthetic. In addition, the facility will serve Made-in-Ghana food only, a move intended to promote the country’s indigenous culinary industry.
The project is expected to enhance the overall premium passenger experience at Kotoka International Airport and reinforce Ghana’s soft-power diplomacy through culture and hospitality.
