Kotoka International Airport in Accra , Ghana is the country's most important international air facility and has the capacity for large aircraft such as the Boeing 747-400 . The airport is operated by the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority. The airport is the main hub for Ghana International Airlines which replaced Ghana Airways in 2004. It also houses a sizeable facility for the Ghana Air Force.

In 1967 the airport was named after Col. Emmanuel Kotoka , who was shot near the airport during the " Guitar-Boy " attempted coup.

The new departure and arrival terminals at KIA opened in 2004 but the planned covered gangways were not completed. Instead, shuttle buses are provided to move passengers from the gates to the aircraft.

In 2004, the airport served 806,365 passengers.
