Starbow takes the lead

Posted Tue, 31 Jul 12


Starbow, Ghana's favourite airline has taken the lead again by being the first to expand into the fast growing West African region. Starbow announces its first international route today, Accra-Cotonou, starting August 13 2012.

Starbow will commence Cotonou services with five flights per week but this service is expected to increase to daily flights within weeks of commencement. The non-stop flights will take 45 minutes only, thus reducing the travel time dramatically.

Currently, the primary alternative to air travel is by road from Accra to Cotonou, two cities which are 350 km apart, but traveling this route by road is often time-consuming, taking up to 8 hours due to two border crossings and poor road conditions in certain areas.

According to Dr. Brock Friesen, Starbow’s co-CEO, Starbow aims to offer the same safe, reliable, affordable and upbeat flying experience Starbow’s Guests have become accustomed to on domestic routes in Ghana. For instance, Starbow’s one-way fares will be significantly cheaper than those offered by its competitors whose flights involve a layover in Lome.

Dr. Friesen also revealed that, Starbow will continue adding non-stop flights to its network to other cities in West Africa. He also said that, plans are far advanced for the launching of 5 flights per week to Abidjan on September 3rd. Monrovia and Ouagadougou are also among the cities that will see frequent Starbow flights in the coming weeks and months.

The announcement of Cotonou services follows the arrival of Starbow’s 3rd BAe 146 aircraft last week. Starbow has tripled the size of the domestic market in Ghana with its first two aircraft and expects to replicate this success with regional services using the expanded fleet.

I enjoyed my trip from Kumasi on the 25th October 2011, at 5pm, I felt like on one of my international trips. your price is very competitive, the flight is safer, smoother and comfortable, comparatively, and I will always travel with STARBOW, as long as you constantly improve the services and raise the bar. Please stay with us!!!!

Dear Sir, Your website looks very nice indeed. Regards

I’ll only say that it’s the best that I have had to Kumasi so far.  Just keep it up!!!

Your services are one of a kind and we all do appreciate it alot. Keep up with the good job and make our air journey smooth.
Dr. Richmond Owusu

Your reservations hotline is very difficult to get through.. It sort of gives you "connection error" from almost all the networks when you try to call. You probably need more Tel lines... as a back-up Please.
Irene Yeboah

I used Starbow several times in 2011 and they are simply exceptional a "compared" to other local airlines
Kwame Agyire

I am yet to patronize your service but i see the flights all the time during landing.Is so beautiful.However,the competition you brought in the sector is the reason for my comment.Keep it up and Akwaaba!
Baba Al-Hassan

I was amazed when i entered the cabin the first time on my flight from Kumasi to Accra. It was refreshing, neat, comfortable and i count how safe it was. Hmmmm....simply put, Starbow is NICE.
Bright Boakye

you have a great aircraft. Good customer service
stephen

So smooth and comfortable ! They must have the best pilots because the landings are really good! I can't compare the quality of touch-downs with Starbow to the other carriers.
Niilantei

No more flying "flying coffins". Starbow, welcome and please stay!
Skubi

I cann't wait to fly with you on wednesday. Starbow you are the best!!
Eric Kwayisi

I am yet to fly Starbow and didn't know about until my last trip to Tamale. I flew Antrak and here is my analysis: Antrak with Single Propeller Engine = Ghc330.02, Starbow with Twin Jet Engines = Ghc165.00, now I may not an idiot but boy did I feel like one on this trip. I wouldn't fly any other Local Airline if my life depended on it; kudos Starbow, now I can really enjoy my work.
Nana Sackey

I just love the services rendered by the airline company! Besides that, the planes are just luxurious and gives its passengers a feel of an international flight..kudos StarBow!
Opare Adams

Thanks to Starbow, traveling on the other airlines is like using trotro.

John Kennedy Akotia

I have seen services of other airlines on domestic sector in Ghana in past . The competition you brought has made sea change. By far you are the best in Ghana.
Amit Mahajan

I just love your presence but publicity is very poor. Focus on Radio and TV jingles. PUBLICIZE, PUBLICIZE, PUBLICIZE.

Your Services can be describe by one word "Excellent" Keep it Up.

i enjoyed your flight from kumasi to Accra. looking forward to future flights. keep up the good work.
Dr. Akuffo Quarde

please your coming into the aviation industry is a relief to us, especially those of us who often travel up north. But please consider Saturday schedule for Tamale. This way, we can always travel there for weekends and back on Monday.
Ibrahim Musah

Cabin and ground staff were efficient, nice and professional. Everybody had something to eat and drink , you just cant beat the 1st impression. My comment to starbow - Outstanding crew and service provided. For S9 212 roundtrip it was a good value for money, but the "can-do" attitude and genuine hospitality makes this airline shine and stand out from other... kudos for ...its all about you
John Adedeji

I enjoyed a smooth flight to Takoradi on your 4 engined plane and will recommend your services to everyone. I hope you are here in Ghana for good. Good luck..
Carmen Avle

I really enjoyed the flight, was quiet impressed. Keep it up!
florence serwaa asare

Wonderful airline with great promise but make website more customer friendly eg. baggage allowed etc.
percy duker

I flew with Starbow on November 30th to Tamale and returned with a competitor airline on November 1st. The contrast of superior service, safety and comfort offered by Starbow was very CLEAR! Nextime, its Starbow GO, Starbow COME.
Tony

Your services are currently good.Please prove to us and competition that with time you will be BETTER and upward to B**T.
Carlis-Paittoo

Keep up the good work! I enjoyed every bit of your flight! so smooth! i have taken a look at your route map, excellent plan. I assume you'll use ure BAE 146 for the routes outside Ghana? If not i recommend Boeing 737-800 Next Generation (as most of the airlines in africa are using 737 for their short hull. 737-800 Next Gen is the equipped with most modern technology in both cockpit and cabin and as such would undeniably outmatch the fleet of all the other airliners flying around west Africa as none of them are using this 737 -800 model. Using this bird would set a standard for the west africa as you've set a standard for the domestic routes in Ghana.
Kofi Larbi

Starbow's services are excellent.Keep up the good work.I hope to fly again with you soon.
Kodwo Watts

The flight, the aircraft, punctuality and the crew .... all perfect

WOW| SUPER SERVICES
Mariama Wentumi-Gidi

MY SON DREADED FLYING DUE TO EARLIER EXPERIENCES, BUT NOW HE WANTS TO GO BACK TO SEE THE GARDEN CITY AGAIN AFTER FLYING Starbow. THANKS FOR MAKING LIKE A LITTLE EASIER FOR US.
Richard Ankrah

KEEP DA GOOD WORK UP THATS ALL I GOT TO SAY
RICHARD BANKS PERTEY

We were told that when an aircraft lands in Kumasi because of the absence of service vehicles, It has no air conditioning and therefore remains very hot. Starbow came and now I experience well airconditioned and comfortable flight. Starbow is a rain or shine airline and will not unnecessarily cancel flights due to bad weather. Kudos and please stay airborne.
Kwabena Bempong

Starbow is ghana's no. 1 airbus. It's roomy, fast and highly patrosized. Starbow is indeed a leader in the industry, Just try it and you will not regret it.
Benjamin Donkor

I had the pleasure of flying with you this past week from Tamale to Accra & return to Tamale. Wonderful service. I had a booking for an associate flying in from Amsterdam who's flight to Accra was delayed for two days to Accra. You were very helpful in cancelling his booking and we will rebook as soon as I have his arrival info. I have many associates flying into Accra and we will be booking all their flights with your airline to Tamale. Please, please keep up the wonderful work. Congratulations!!
william jackson

I LOVE STARBOW!!!!
Hope Mambo

I enjoy flying with Starbow all the time.However, i want to suggest to the management to offer better snacks like egg & bacon or sanwich instead of the usual baby biscuit
kwaku Ackom

Starbow is a nice plane and also you feel comfortable when you are on board.we all appreciate your services

Your handling of reservations ROCKS. Quick, no-nonsense,DONE. INMEDIATE TEXT confirmation, inmediate email aknowledgement. State-of-the art communication technology. If your handling of passengers at the airport matches this level of efficiency, you've got a great organization
