New Accra International Airport car park to operate fully cashless and ticketless – President Mahama

President John Dramani Mahama announced plans for a fully cashless and ticketless car park at Accra International Airport. The new seven-storey multi-purpose facility, with over 2,000 parking spaces, will be built at the airport's Terminal 3 enclave. This system, unlike the current one operated by the Ghana Airports Company Limited, will use CCTV surveillance and automated access control to automatically record vehicles upon entry and exit, with payments made digitally.

This shift aims to reduce congestion, improve security, and expedite the check-in process. The car park is part of a larger commercial development that includes two hotels - a 120-room five-star premium hotel and a 250-room three-star affordable hotel. The hotels will be linked directly to Terminal 3 via a covered pedestrian connector, eliminating the need for passengers to cross busy roads with luggage.

Other features include a shopping mall, retail and office spaces, a banking facility, a sky lounge, and a sky observatory for watching aircraft. The project, a reflection of the government's vision to modernize airport infrastructure, was inaugurated by President Mahama on August 27, 2026.
