Flights to Tema
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Tema is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Kotoka International Airport (ACC), 18 km (11 mi) from the centre, whose 11,165-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kotoka International Airport | ACC | 18 km (11 mi) | 11,165 ft | 205 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,165 ft, ACC can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 205 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
