The Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) has confirmed that on Sunday (22 September 2024) that a passenger’s luggage was detected to be emitting smoke at the baggage wrap area at the departure hall, terminal 3 of the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) in Accra
In a statement issued on Sunday (22 September), the GACL said the incident occurred at around 3:27 pm.
According to the GACL, the luggage was located in the baggage wrap area, prompting immediate action from the operations room of the aviation security department.
“The security team swiftly isolated the bag, and passengers in the terminal were evacuated as per the Ghana Airports Company Limited’s (GACL) Emergency Operations procedures.”
The GACL has therefore cautioned passengers not to travel with batteries, as doing so violates International Civil Aviation Regulations.
“Luggage containing prohibited items, including batteries, will be confiscated, and the owner handed over to authorities,” the statement added.
