Developing West Africa's Premier Aircraft Maintenance Hub
Project Status: The Accra MRO Project is currently in the development phase, with support from USTDA, Lufthansa Consulting, and the Government of Ghana. The facility is planned for operational launch in the coming years.
Following detailed consultations in the host country, the project has been prioritized by the Government of Ghana to help achieve the following macro objectives:
To develop Kotoka International Airport (KIA) as a regional aviation hub, stimulating economic growth and development.
To help reduce the cost of air travel in the region through local maintenance capabilities
The project benefits from strong institutional support and strategic partnerships that ensure its successful development:
This collaborative approach ensures the project's alignment with national aviation development goals and international best practices.
The Accra MRO Project is expected to bring significant economic benefits to Ghana and the wider West African region:
Currently, African airlines must send their aircraft to Europe, Middle East, or Asia for major maintenance work, resulting in significant costs and operational disruptions. The Accra MRO facility is being developed to address this gap by providing world-class maintenance services within Africa.
The strategic location at Kotoka International Airport will make it accessible to airlines across West and Central Africa, significantly reducing ferry flight times and maintenance costs for the region's aviation industry.
