The Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) has confirmed that Kotoka International Airport (KIA) is operating normally despite a global IT outage affecting numerous airports and airlines.

The IT outage has disrupted various industries worldwide, including airlines, banks, retail outlets, and broadcasters, causing grounded flights and widespread delays, particularly among major U.S. airlines.

Although Microsoft announced that the issue had been resolved, problems persist, with blue error screens appearing on public displays across the U.S. and beyond.

In a statement on Friday, GACL said all flights are operating according to schedule.

“Management of Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) wishes to inform the travelling public that it has taken note of the global IT outage currently affecting some airports and airlines worldwide.

For the record, Kotoka International Airport has NOT been impacted so far, and all flights are operating as scheduled,” the statement read.

The GACL has assured that it will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide necessary updates to the travelling public as the situation evolves.
