He made the call on March 5 when he performed a sod-cutting ceremony at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) for the commencement of expansion works on an apron at the northern side of the airport and an office complex for the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA).
The minister touched on the well praised terminal 3 at the Kotoka Airport noting he had to renegotiate the credit facility terms the previous regime entered into for the erection of the terminal noting the terms were unfavorable to the state.
The apron; an area of the airport where aircraft will park, unload and load, refuel or for boarding as well as the office building is expected to be completed in two years.
The eight-storey building to be put up on a 9,300 metre square land would have underground parking, a data centre, a cafeteria, a gym and an executive lounge. The project is being constructed by Amandi Investments Limited.
The acting Managing Director of the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL), Mr. Yaw Kwakwa, said the northern apron project would have space for 14 aircraft.
