Accra International Airport (IATA: ACC, ICAO: DGAA), formerly known as Kotoka International Airport, is an international airport in Accra, the capital of Ghana. The airport is operated by Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL), which has its offices on the airport property. Until the upgrading of the Tamale and Kumasi airports to international standards, AIA, for a long time, was the sole international airport in Ghana.
In 2024, the airport served a record 3.4 million passengers, a recovery from the 1.2 million in 2020 (reduced due to the COVID-19 pandemic). It presently serves as a hub for domestic and regional operator Africa World Airlines and a base for domestic operator Passion Air.
The airport has two passenger terminals: Terminal 2 and Terminal 3. Terminal 2 handles only domestic flights, while Terminal 3 serves regional, international, and long-haul flights. Terminal 1 is presently no longer in use but will be redeveloped into an FBO. Terminal 3 has the capacity for large aircraft such as the Airbus A380.
The airport has been recognized as the "Best Airport in Africa" (2-5 million pax per annum) for 2019, 2020 and 2021 by Airports Council International.
