Obuasi Airport is a private airfield developed by Anglo Gold Ashanti to service their operations at the Obuasi Gold Mine.[2] The airport was developed from a former airstrip and was inaugurated on 30 August 2012 by Minister of Transport, Collins Dauda. The airport is operated by Gianair on behalf of the owners.[3]
On 19 March 2003, a Beech 1900D operated by Ashanti Goldfields Corporation with 4 passengers and 2 crew overran the runway after aborting take-off at a speed of 80 knots. The aircraft came to rest in rocky ground near the runway and sustained substantial damage. No fatalities were reported.[5]
