Tuesday, September 1, 2020, Kotoka International Airport Accra, Ghana received about 200 passengers arriving on three separate flights since President Nana Addo announced the reopening of Ghana’s Airport.
This comes on the heels of the recent certification of Ghana as a #SafeTravels destination by the World Travel and Tourism Council.
As announced earlier, passengers went through to COVID-19 tests at the Upper Arrival section of Kotoka International Airport [KIA] where 70 cubicles had been set-up to test passengers for COVID-19. Passengers were seen going through the process smoothly without hitches.

At the main Arrival Hall, the demarcation was also in place to allow for social distancing amongst arriving travellers.
One of the latest additions to the processes at the airport is the introduction of automated Health declaration forms for passenger use. Passengers could be seen keying-in Health details on electronic systems provided as part of the processes.
With these initial flights, it is expected that the numbers will increase stemming from the increase in demand for Ghanaian Visas at some of the Embassies and Consulates for Beyond The Return and December In Ghana.
Also, departing Accra yesterday were two private jets and Tap Portugal Airlines where passengers observed COVID-19 protocols put in place.
At the airport yesterday were members of the Ghana Airports Company Limited Board led by the Chairperson, Madam Oboshie Sai Cofie, and officials of the Ministries of Health, Aviation, Ghana Health Service, and Ghana Civil Aviation Authority to observe the facilitation process.
