Taxis are the most common and convenient option, available directly outside the arrivals terminal. Fares are not metered and should be negotiated with the driver before starting your journey. Ride-hailing services like Uber and Bolt also operate in the area and offer a reliable alternative.
Several car rental agencies, including international brands like Avis and a number of local companies, have a presence at the airport. It is highly recommended to book a vehicle in advance, especially during peak travel seasons. Rental desks can be found inside the terminal building.
There are no direct public bus or train services that connect to the Kumasi Airport terminal. The primary form of public transit in the city is the 'tro-tro' (shared minibus), which would require walking to a main road away from the airport and is not a practical option for travelers with luggage.
If you arrive fairly early for your flight you may be sent to the waiting area, which is a sort of hangar in a separate building to the check-in building with the gates, etc. The waiting area has no loos but does have a stand selling local chocolate products and a food stand that does meat pies, drinks, ice cream, etc. The pies were quite nice but my colleague's croissant had mould on and the ice creams were a bit melted. Plenty of seating though.
When you get called through to clear security you're shown into the gate area, where there is a small and fascinatingly eclectic shop, selling everything from Monopoly games to history books and t-shirts, and there are loos. I think there was also wifi there. It only holds one plane-load of passengers and you don't spend long there before boarding.
As is fairly typical of small airports like this, you can pretty much see your plane arrive and watch your suitcase going onboard. On arrival, once you've collected your baggage you are basically on the tarmac outside in seconds. There is a small currency exchange but rates and staffing were...unclear. It's within Kumasi city though so not a long drive to in-city hotels.
