Today marks a significant milestone for Kumasi, as the new Kumasi International Airport is set to be inaugurated, drawing interest from major international airlines for direct flights to Ghana's Ashanti Regional capital.

The inauguration ceremony will be led by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.

This event will also kick-start further testing of equipment at the new terminal, which is set to take over all domestic passenger services from the old terminal in June.

Joining the President and Otumfuo will be Transport Minister Kwaku Ofori Asiamah, Managing Director of the Ghana Airports Company Limited Yvonne N. A. Opare, among other notable figures.
