Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Kumasi is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Prempeh I International Airport (KMS), 5 km (3 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,612 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Prempeh I International Airport | KMS | 5 km (3 mi) | 7,612 ft | 942 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 7,612 ft, KMS handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 942 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
