President
John Dramani Mahama has promised residents of Ashanti Region that his
government will not renege on its promise to rehabilitate the Kumasi
Airport.
Speaking to media practitioners at the Flagstaff House
on Tuesday, President Mahama reiterated his commitment to upgrade the
Kumasi Airport into an International one to provide much better services
to its passengers.
He noted with seriousness that this year will
see the Airport undergo major transformation since it is the 'second
busiest airport' in the nation.
President Mahama also capitalized
on his government's readiness to construct airdromes at Cape Coast in
the Central Region and Ho in the Volta Region.
He further disclosed that other air ports will be established in some regions in the country for domestic aviation purposes.
“We’re
going to upgrade Kumasi Airport because it’s the second busiest airport
in this country. And it’s our intention to upgrade to international
status and so, it’s one of the airports we’re going to upgrade. We’re
also doing the Regional airports.
“We’re going to rehabilitate
Kumasi Airport. We’re going to rehabilitate Sunyani Airport. We are
going to build new aerodrome in Cape Coast, in Ho, in Koforidua and in
Bolga so that we can have domestic aviation serving all our Regional
capitals," President Mahama stated during his meeting with the
journalists. |
