The French ambassador to Ghana has praised the Kotoka International Airport (KIA), saying it’s of the standard of Dubai and Europe.
Speaking about her first impression arriving in Ghana, Ambassador Anne Sophie AvĂ© told a radio interviewer (Accra100.5FMâs mid-morning show Ayekoo Ayekoo) on 8 December that âthe first impression is: Wow!â
âWhen you arrive in Kotoka, you say: âOk, where am I: is this Dubai, is this a European country?â she said.

She explained: âEverything is neat, everything is super well-organised and when COVID started and when you organised this testing at the Arrivals, people who come from overseas, they are very impressed; they say: âWow, the organisation is incredibleââ, she observed.
âAnd then you get out of the airport and then youâve got this nice heat that hugs youâ.
âIt was a bit humid; you get into something very comfortable and the people are smiling; when you arrive, people smile at you and you get âAkwaabaâ, you get âbonne arrivĂ©eâ, people try their French on you and you go: Wow, is this heaven? You feel welcome and you feel at home from the very beginningâ, she said.
