Ghana: Flight disruptions ongoing as workers strike at Accra's Kotoka International Airport, Feb. 26

Event

Workers at Accra's Kotoka International Airport (ACC) have gone on an indefinite strike starting Feb. 26. The work stoppage has reportedly prompted significant flight disruptions at the facility. Airlines may cancel or delay flights if the strike continues in the days ahead. The strike has been called over perceived directorial issues at the Ghana Airports Company, which operates services at the facility.

Striking workers may picket or hold protests near the airport or government offices. Increased security presence is likely at any protests, should they materialize. Clashes between law enforcement and demonstrators are possible.

Advice

Reconfirm all flights and travel arrangements before departing for the airport. Avoid all protests as a standard security precaution. If clashes break out, immediately leave the area and seek shelter in a secure location.
