The Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) has said it has requested for a\u00a0report from Starbow Airline and Air Traffic Control to initiate mandatory investigations into a near fatal accident that occurred on Tuesday involving one of Stabow\u2019s aircrafts.<\/p>\n

At an altitude of about 6000 feet, a Starbow aircraft en-route to Takoradi on Tuesday made an emergency landing<\/strong><\/span><\/a> at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) after a hydraulic fault was detected mid-air.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”wxYVIMT7g5AOJmmbgx4YXgsywyhnNk3G”]Two passengers on board were injured in the process.<\/p>\n

Deputy Minister of Transport, Joyce Bawa Mogtari told Citi News <\/strong>that management of Starbow airline has grounded most of its flights<\/a><\/strong><\/span> to carry out emergency service procedures on them.<\/p>\n

She explained that\u00a0\u201cwhat we want to do is to ensure the safety of our passengers and to assure the general public that everything is being done to ensure that our safety record is maintained.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is the second time a similar incident has happened<\/a><\/strong><\/span> in two months.<\/p>\n

On August 9, 2014, a Kumasi bound Starbow aircraft was forced to land shortly after taking off because it developed a fault mid-air.<\/p>\n

The Chief Executive Officer of Starbow, Mr Eric. Antwi in an interview with\u00a0Citi News <\/strong>insisted that the two incidents are entirely different.<\/p>\n

The GCAA, in a press release is however \u201cassuring the General Public that as the regulator of Ghana\u2019s air transport industry, it does not compromise on its unbridled safety standards and will continue to ensure Safety and Security within the Accra Flight Information Region (FIR).\u201d<\/p>\n
