## Description

Swissport, Cargolux and DHL are among the operators that keep freight moving through Kotoka International Airport (ACC), Ghana's only international gateway, in Accra. The field carries the name of General Emmanuel Kwasi Kotoka and concentrates the country's scheduled traffic, with Terminal 3 handling up to five million passengers a year since 2018. Cargo throughput runs between roughly 39,000 and 50,000 tonnes annually, anchored by the Ghana Airport Cargo Centre opened in 2016: a 10,000 m² warehouse that processes close to half of local volumes. Regular freight carriers include Cargolux, Brussels Airlines, DHL, Turkish Airlines and KLM, supplemented by belly capacity on long-haul passenger services. Exports lean on Ghana's cocoa, gold and chilled fish, all sensitive to fast handling. Customs clearance sits with the Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority, with bonded warehousing available on site. The N1 motorway links the airport to the deep-water port of Tema, about 30 km away, opening efficient sea-air options across the ECOWAS region.
