The Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) has issued a public notice to implement a mandatory removal of shoes by passengers at screening checkpoints with immediate effect across all airports in the country.
According to the GALC, the directive is in accordance with the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority’s (GCAA) mandate “to oversee the implementation of security measures to safeguard air transport, life, and property.”
“Section 17.4.5(1) of the Ghana Civil Aviation (Aviation Security) Directives provide that no person shall enter a sterile area or a security restricted area without having his/her person or carry-on baggage, goods, or other articles in their possession screened,” the GACL said.
The GACL, however, urged the general public to cooperate with the new directive to ensure seamless operations at airports within the country.
