The officers, who were stationed at Terminal 3 of the Accra International Airport, were found on August 5 to have charged a foreign passport holder US$40 for a Yellow Fever Card instead of the approved US$20 fee.
In a statement issued yesterday, GACL announced that the officers’ identification cards had been withdrawn and deactivated, effectively barring them from operating at any airport managed by the company.
“As of Thursday, August 6, 2026, the two officers are no longer permitted to work at Accra International Airport or any other GACL-operated airport,” the statement said.
According to GACL, personnel found culpable will face disciplinary sanctions and will no longer be allowed to work at any airport or within airport premises.
GACL said the Ghana Immigration Service had confirmed that the officer featured in the video had since been transferred from the airport.
