History Sunyani Airport

The Sunyani Airport is one of GACL operated airports in Ghana and currently offers domestic air travel to the Bono Region.

Originally a communication outpost and aerodrome, the Sunyani Airport was built in 1942 for use by the Allied Forces during World War II. The airstrip was later abandoned before the war ended. In 1969, the Government initiated the construction of a complete airport for the region and was officially opened on July 13, 1974.

In March 2016, the operations at the Sunyani Airport were halted as a result of safety concerns caused by visible deterioration of the airport’s airside pavements (runway, taxi link and apron).

The closure meant that travellers, especially those of the business community, in the discharge of their socio-economic activities, could only travel in and out of the region by road. Journeys which were usually long, tiresome and stifles business activities.
