The Wa Airstrip has been tarred and fenced at the cost of 20 billion cedis as part of the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority's (GCAA) programme of developing all airports and airstrips in the country.
The project, started in October 1998, comprised the tarring of the two-kilometre runway, fencing, to prevent stray animals and the diversion of roads that previously cut across some parts of the runway.
Osei Ansah, Director of Projects of GCAA told the media that the Wa project was considered ahead of the others because of its strategic position and the bad state of roads in the area.
He said feasibility studies on the Bolgatanga and Ho airstrips have been completed while a new design for the Kumasi airport terminal and the runway would soon be put on tender.
The Wa airstrip is currently being used by the military alone but her expressed the hope that very soon domestic airlines would begin to use it.
