GACL races to finish Terminal 2 upgrades | By Joojo Maapa
Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) has intensified efforts to complete the ongoing refurbishment and modernization of Terminal 2 at the Accra International Airport ahead as construction activities enter a critical phase.
In a public notice issued by management, GACL announced the temporary partial closure of the road section in front of the Terminal 2 departure hall effective Monday, May 11, 2026, to allow for major refitting works on the frontage and façade of the terminal building.
The company stated that the affected section would remain inaccessible to both vehicles and pedestrians for approximately one month while engineers and contractors undertake renovation activities aimed at upgrading passenger-facing infrastructure at the facility.
“To minimize the disruption, directional signage and traffic management personnel will be on-site to guide commuters and ensure smooth movement,” the notice said.
The accelerated works form part of broader plans by GACL to reposition Terminal 2 into a modern multi-purpose domestic and international terminal as passenger traffic through Accra continues to grow.
The redevelopment is expected to support the planned relocation of several carriers serving Accra’s main airport from Terminal 3 to Terminal 2.
Airport authorities are racing to complete the modernization works before the peak summer travel season, when passenger volumes are expected to increase significantly.
The refurbishment project includes improvements to passenger processing areas, terminal frontage, circulation systems and operational facilities aimed at enhancing passenger experience and operational efficiency.
GACL has in recent years embarked on a broader infrastructure modernization programme across Ghana’s airport network as part of efforts to strengthen the country’s ambition of becoming a regional aviation hub.
