Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has announced major changes at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) to ease operations.
According to Dr. Bawumia, airline passengers travelling to Ghana will from Friday, March 31, 2023 no longer be required to fill out landing cards at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA).
As a result, he has further asked the Ministry of the Interior and the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) to ensure that e-gates at the country’s major entry point will be operational in the course of the year for use by passengers bearing Ghana Cards or Passports.
The decisions were taken after a meeting to improve on the competitiveness of Kotoka International Airport (KIA) with key stakeholders, including the Minister for Public Enterprises, Minister for Transport and his deputy, the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL), Ghana Immigration Service, National Security and Ministry of the Interior.
“It was decided, inter alia, that airline passengers traveling to Ghana will, from 31st March 2023, no longer be required to fill out landing cards. This is because the same information can be obtained electronically.
Furthermore, the Ministry of the Interior and the Ghana Immigration Service have been directed to ensure that E-Gates will be operational at KIA this year for use by passengers using their Passports or Ghanacards.
