The presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, says his administration will develop the Cape Coast Airport if elected president in the December presidential election.
Delivering his address at the launch of the party’s manifesto, Dr. Bawumia said that a $2 billion fund has been secured from Korean investors to commence the development of the facility.
According to him, his administration will expand public infrastructure and also transform Ghana’s aviation sector.
The candidate also announced that he will establish a private-sector-led Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) facility at the Tamale Airport, positioning it as an aviation cargo, horticultural cargo, and logistics hub.
Meanwhile, he has also announced that aside from the Cape Coast Airport development, he will build a new airport in the Upper East Region, further demonstrating his commitment to enhancing Ghana’s aviation infrastructure and promoting economic growth.
“[I will] Facilitate the establishment, by the private sector, of a Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facility at the Tamale Airport, to develop it into an aviation cargo, horticultural cargo, and logistics hub, commence the development of the Cape Coast Airport, for which funding has been secured under the Korean $2 billion facility, in collaboration with the private sector, build an airport in the Upper East Region.”
