CTK Flight Academy is now STARWEST Academy

Founded in 2006 as a subsidiary of the domestic airline CiTylinK Ghana, the flight academy has produced some of the most revered pilots who now work with international and domestic airlines.

Its vision from the start has been to inspire generations to fly while populating the airline industry with the much needed local manpower to support the industry’s growth in the country and to support the local content policy of the Government of Ghana within aviation.

“We decided to rebrand ourselves and go with a name that matches both our vision and personality. As we set the golden standard of aviation training right here in the heart of West Africa, we believe our new name STARWEST, the Star of West Africa does exactly that.”

According to the management of STARWEST, the academy aims to provide opportunities to the next crop of aviation enthusiasts right here in Ghana. “For a very long time, pilots have had to travel to Europe, the United States and South Africa for their flight training. With the Afienya Airport under our management, our team of experienced instructors, use of modern aircraft, aircraft systems and flight simulators, we look forward to inviting students across the Ecowas and globe to train here, instead.
