The Ghana Airport Company has blamed the recent traffic congestion in and around the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) on the arrival of would be hajj pilgrims at the airport since Wednesday.

According to the Airport Company, the Hajj Committee has since Wednesday started processing the would be pilgrims from the southern sector of the country at the Hajj Village at the KIA.

“This has resulted in vehicular traffic in and around the airport,” a statement issued by the airport authorities said, and accordingly advised users of the airport to bear that in mind when coming to the facility.

“Travellers and users of the airport are kindly requested to arrive at the airport ahead of normal reporting time to avoid delays,” it said.

The Airport Company apologised for any inconvenience the situation might cause them and also urged the public to cooperate with them during the period.

The last batch of the pilgrims are scheduled to leave Ghana on August 30.
