Sunyani Airport to be upgraded soon - Aviation Minister 

The Minister of Aviation, Madam Cecilia Abenaa Dapaah, on Tuesday (April 4), gave the assurance that the Sunyani Airport would soon be upgraded into a modern standard category.

She was unhappy about the poor condition of the facility especially the run way and other basic infrastructure, after touring the airport, and underlined the need to do some rehabilitation and expansion works.

Madam Dapaah was accompanied by the new Managing Director of the Ghana Airport Company, John Dekyem Attafuah and the Brong-Ahafo Regional Minister, Kwaku Asomah-Cheremeh.
        
Madam Dapaah explained that the government recognised air transport as a means to spur socio-economic growth and that was why it was poised to develop the aviation sector.
        
She observed that a vibrant aviation sector would open up the country, and subsequently boost investment for accelerated national development.

The Assistant Airport Manager, Maxwell Yeboah, thanked the Minister for the visit and he was optimistic that facilities at the airport would be improved.
