Starbow airline crash lands in Tamale

Domestic Airline Starbow, has been given permission to continue operations despite the recent accident involving one of its aircrafts in Tamale in the Northern region.

There are calls for the regulator of the aviation sector to get tough and halt the operations of the company. But the Deputy Director-General, Finance and Administration of the GCAA Abdullai Alhassan disagrees.

“We haven’t told them to stop, they can continue their operations. We have a comprehensive audit of all the airlines (domestic). As we all know accidents can happen, so we don’t want to put the blame on any aircraft or pilot until we finish investigations. But they can still operate”, he stated.

The authority is yet to release information about the investigations on the cause and circumstances of the the crash. Even though the airline revealed that crash was caused by an engine failure.
