Ghana - 2.2.3 Sunyani National Airport
Home

Airport Overview

Sunyani Airport dates back as 1942, when a communication outpost and aerodrome was built for the use of Allied Forces. The 1,400-metre runway of Sunyani Airport cannot be extended due to a gully at one end and a hill at the other. This limitation renders the airport unsuitable for use by medium range jets. Sunyani airport is one of the domestic airports under the management of the GACL.
