The freshly built Kumasi International Airport's runway is currently undergoing a test run for standardization purposes.

The exercise comes ahead of the facility’s full operations of scheduled and chartered flights later this year. The Ashanti Region is expected to leverage the new airport to attract more tourists, ease international air travel for persons in the northern sector of the country, create jobs and boost the local and national economy.
