The Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) has come under heavy scrutiny on social media after pictures and videos of the new airport signage went viral.
It may be recalled that the government recently changed the name of the airport from Kotoka International Airport to Accra International Airport.
Following the rebrand, the new signage was officially unveiled on March 20, 2026.
