Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is expected to commission the Tamale International Airport today, Tuesday, August 22, 2023.
The $70 million Phase 2 of the Tamale Airport project started in March 2020.
It includes a new terminal building befitting the status of the airport as an international airport.
It also includes a first-class 5km road linking it with the Tamale-Bolgatanga highway, a new car park, and commercial vehicle parking.
The airport project also has an ultra-modern Hajj Terminal dedicated to Hajj operations, thus making Tamale, the hub of Hajj operations in Ghana.
The project, among other things, is expected to enhance revenue generation for the Ghana Airport Company Limited, accelerate the potential increase in domestic travel, position Tamale as a sub-Saharan hub airport and support programmes of the Northern Development Authority to enhance access to agricultural products.
