As part of the preparations for the full operation of flights from the new Tamale Airport Terminal, all flights to and from Tamale Airport will be conducted from the new terminal starting on Saturday, July 29, 2023, as part of the gradual migration.

This move is aimed at operationalizing the new terminal and managing the risks associated with transferring operations from the old to the new Terminal.

Airlines have been instructed to inform their passengers to arrive at the new airport terminal ahead of their scheduled departure time to avoid any delays.

The Phase Two (2) of the Tamale Airport Project, which began in July 2019, includes the construction of an Airport Terminal Building designed to handle an annual passenger throughput of 400,000, a Multi-Purpose Terminal, a 5km road network (off Tamale-Bolgatanga Road), and other supporting facilities.

The New Terminal Building boasts several features, including a VIP lounge, two (2) boarding gates, two (2) self-service check-in kiosks, eight (8) check-in desks, airline offices, and commercial retail areas.

To ensure easy accessibility, a completely new 5km road network has been constructed as part of the project design. Furthermore, the Multi-Purpose Terminal, completed in 2022, has been utilized in facilitating Hajj Pilgrims during the Annual Pilgrimage to Mecca in both 2022 and 2023.

The phased development of Tamale Airport is part of a comprehensive plan to establish the facility as an alternate Airport to Kotoka International Airport, capable of handling wide-body aircraft in emergency situations.
