Location

Sekondi-Takoradi, Ghana

Takoradi Airport (IATA: TKD, ICAO: DGTK) is a domestic airport serving Sekondi-Takoradi, the capital of Ghana's Western Region. It connects the city to Accra and other domestic destinations, playing an important role in supporting the region's oil and gas industry following major offshore discoveries in the late 2000s. The airport is operated under the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) and handles relatively modest passenger volumes compared to Kotoka International Airport in Accra. Its strategic importance has grown with the expansion of petroleum-sector activity in the region, as international oil companies and contractors frequently use the facility. Infrastructure at Takoradi Airport is limited, with a single runway and basic terminal facilities. Discussions and plans for upgrades and expansions have been raised over the years to accommodate growing demand driven by the energy sector.
