Rehabilitation of the Sunyani Airport
Rehabilitation works on the Sunyani Airport which was halted have begun in earnest. The objective of the rehabilitation project is to, among other things, ensure that facilities and services at the airport meet all international safety and security standards.
The scope of work includes rehabilitation/reconstruction and extension of the existing runway, rehabilitation of existing taxi link, rehabilitation, and upgrade of the existing apron, resurfacing of internal roads, rehabilitation, and remodeling of the existing terminal building to make space for all necessary terminal facilitation.
 It will be recalled that in March 2015, the Sunyani Airport was temporarily shut down due to the extent of visible deterioration of the airfield.
