Accra Airport Land Dispute Triggers Public Warning | By Dominick Andoh
Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) has issued a strong public warning cautioning prospective land buyers, developers and investors against engaging in unauthorized transactions involving disputed airport lands located on the Spintex Road enclave near the Accra International Airport.
In a public notice issued by management, GACL said it had become aware of ongoing attempts by some individuals and entities to allegedly offer portions of the contested land for sale despite the property remaining subject to ongoing litigation before the courts.
The company identified the land in question as an approximately 16-acre parcel situated adjacent to and opposite Action Chapel International on the Spintex Road corridor in Accra.
According to GACL, the land had allegedly been offered for sale by Airport Logistics Limited and McDan Shipping Company Limited, both companies affiliated with the McDan Group.
GACL stated that the disputed lands remain the subject of legal proceedings and warned that no individual or entity currently possesses the lawful authority to dispose of, lease, transfer or otherwise transact any interest in the property until the judicial process is fully concluded.
The airport operator disclosed that the High Court (Land Division) in Accra in May 2025 delivered judgment in favour of GACL, granting the company the right to re-enter and repossess the disputed lands.
However, GACL noted that the McDan Group has subsequently filed an appeal challenging the ruling, meaning the matter remains pending before the Court of Appeal and therefore remains sub judice.
“The general public is hereby strictly advised and cautioned to desist from engaging in any land transactions, negotiations or payments pertaining to these lands,” the company said in the notice.
GACL further warned that any person or organization entering into transactions involving the parcels of land would do so entirely at their own risk.
The company added that it would not recognize any third-party interests created during the pendency of the litigation and reserved the right to take full legal action to protect its assets.
The warning comes amid growing commercial interest in airport-adjacent lands around the Accra International Airport, formerly known as Kotoka International Airport, particularly along the rapidly developing Spintex Road corridor, one of Accra’s prime commercial and logistics zones.
