About Ho Airport

Overview

Ho Airport serves the Volta Region in southeastern Ghana, located near the city of Ho. As a medium-sized airport at 356 feet mean sea level, it provides regional transportation infrastructure for the surrounding administrative area. The airport supports local and regional aviation needs with its single asphalt runway.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation at 356 feet MSL suggests a relatively low-altitude environment typical of Ghana's coastal and near-coastal regions. Pilots can expect potential humidity and thermal variations common to the tropical climate zone. Seasonal wind patterns may influence runway 05/23 operations, with the 5,266-foot asphalt surface providing adequate length for most medium-sized aircraft.

Notable Features

Ho Airport's geographic positioning at coordinates 6.579691, 0.532547 places it in a region with varied terrain transitioning between coastal plains and interior highlands. The single runway (05/23) orientation suggests local topographical influences on prevailing wind directions. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal effects and localized wind behaviors characteristic of the Volta Region's landscape.

Approach Considerations

The runway's 5,266-foot length accommodates most regional and domestic aircraft types operating in Ghana. Approach considerations should account for the airport's moderate elevation and potential thermal activity in the local microclimate. Pilots should prepare for standard tropical airport conditions, paying close attention to wind direction given the runway's 05/23 orientation.
