Ghana Airports Implement Mandatory Shoe Removal at Security Screening Points

In response to a directive from the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) has announced the mandatory removal of shoes at security screening points in all airports across the country, effective immediately.

The GCAA directive, aimed at enhancing security measures to safeguard air transport, life, and property, requires all persons, including passengers, to remove their shoes during the security screening process.

Section 17.4.5(1) of the Ghana Civil Aviation (Aviation Security) Directives states that no person shall enter a sterile area or a security-restricted area without having their person or carry-on baggage, goods, or other articles in their possession screened.

GACL is urging the general public to cooperate with the new security measure for a seamless facilitation process at all airports.
