A Starbow flight reportedly crashed into a fence wall\u00a0 at the Kotoka International Airport on Saturday afternoon, in an attempt to take off.<\/p>\n

Some sources at the Airport have indicated that, the flight, which was set to take off to Kumasi, skidded off the runway in the direction of the nearby Air-force base, after its engines suddenly shut down.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”zWXRafhDPdaBiuE6KFNMO0J3Q9Jf7Im8″]No casualties have as yet been confirmed.<\/p>\n

Sources within the Aviation Ministry have indicated that, an official report will be released on the incident after their technical team assesses the situation.<\/p>\n

Earlier delays<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Friday, November 24, 2017, some passengers of Starbow Airlines were stranded at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) after they were unable to embark on their booked flight.<\/p>\n

Some of the affected passengers who spoke to Citi Business News<\/strong> indicated that, their flight was cancelled after they had been cleared to embark.<\/p>\n

Though they were given a two-hour waiting period for the issue to be resolved, the airline company subsequently announced that the flight could only be postponed to Saturday, November 25, 2017.<\/p>\n

Officials of the GCAA confirmed to Citi Business News<\/strong> that the flight was cancelled since Starbow Airlines had failed to conduct a demonstration flight on the new aircraft it took delivery of earlier this week.<\/p>\n

It is unclear if this new aircraft was the same one that was involved in that incident on Friday.<\/p>\n

Efforts to get a response from Starbow Airlines have so far been unsuccessful.<\/p>\n
