The Minister for Aviation Cecilia Abena Dapaah said the intended facelift is to ensure that the facility which has been out of use for the past two years, will serve the residents of Brong Ahafo region and its environs.

The Nana Addo-led government has said that it will give the Sunyani Airport a facelift.

This is to ensure that the facility which has been out of use for the past two years, will serve the residents of Brong Ahafo region and its environs.

This was announced by the Aviation Minister, Cecilia Abena Dapaah when she paid a working visit to the Airport.

The Sunyani Airport which used to serve domestic flights has been out of use partly due to structural defects that have affected both the tarmac and the runway.

She expressed worry over the encroachment on Airport lands.

She said this the encroachment would make it difficult for any immediate extension to be done.

Madam Dapaah used the occasion to meet with two chiefs, Nana Kwame Korang and Nana Kwesi Yeboah of the Odumase Traditional Council that leased the land for the Airport, to discuss the issue of encroachment on the airport lands.

She also met with the Nsoatre Traditional Council which released lands for the extension of the airport but yet to be utilised.
