In 1969, the Busia Government seeing the need for an regional airport for Sunyani initiated construction work for a full airport. This was completed and officially opened on 13 July 1974, by Col. P.K. Agyekum, the then Commissioner for Communications and Transportation.
Sunyani Regional Airport - Runway
The 1288 meter runway cannot be extended due to a gully at one end and a hill at the other. This limitation renders the airport unsuitable for use by medium range jets.
Still smaller aircraft is using Sunyani Arport. The Airport is under the management of GACL.
