Starbow passengers to Takoradi stranded as third flight fails

Passengers scheduled to travel on a domestic Airline, Starbow to Takoradi were stranded as the third flight expected to take off failed to their expectation.

The passengers, most of whom reported to the Starbow offices, could not hide their frustrations when they were told that their flight had been cancelled.

Some of them could also not come to terms with the circumstances under which their evening flight for that day had to be rescheduled for today without their prior knowledge.

Reports say the frustrated passengers vented their anger on the officials, questioning why they had not been informed earlier about the cancellation of the flight.

There were, however, Starbow flights from Accra to Kumasi and Tamale.

An official of the airline, who spoke on anonymity, explained to the media that one of the aircraft which was scheduled to fly the passengers from Accra to Takoradi developed a mechanical fault, which precipitated the cancellation of the flight.

“We do three flights to Takoradi a day. As I talk to you, two of those flights left in the morning. The third flight has been cancelled because of a technical challenge,” the officer added.

Some of the aggrieved passengers, said they had lost trust in Starbow because the airline had taken them through such an ordeal.
