Goldstar Airlines, a Ghanaian airline company has appointed Miss Jacqueline Akweley Mantey-Amoo, second runner-up of the Ghana’s Most Beautiful pageant show in 2011 as its ambassador.

Miss Mantey-Amoo, better known as Akweley, who came to the limelight following her remarkable display of rich knowledge in Ghanaian culture and traditional matters was settled on as the lead ambassador of Goldstar Airlines.

In a statement copied to Ghanaweb, the Public Relations Officer of Goldstar Air, Mr John Ashong-Mettle, articulated that the choice of the former beauty queen is in line or bounds up with the company’s mantra to indigenize its operations and give pride of place to Ghanaians.

Akweley, who represented the Greater Accra region, during the Ghana’s Most Beautiful Pageant Show, exemplified excellence and kept spellbound television viewers during that season and so her choice is apposite, which is pertinent to the growth of the airline” Ashong-Mettle said.

He asserted that, as lead representative of the airline, her role will be to have an oversight over the Ghanaian cabin crew and also market the country to the array of passengers in terms of bringing to light the rich cultural heritage of mother Ghana when the aircraft is in flight.

Miss Akweley Mantey-Amoo, who stands out in the scheme of things was engaged by the Accra Metropolitan Assembly and Waste Management Company, Zoomlion as their brand ambassador in 2012 and United Nations Millennium Development Goal Ambassador, to facilitate a sanitation project. Again, owing to her sterling ambassadorial qualities, she was contracted to be the ambassador for Ghana Textiles Print in 2012.

In 2014, Akweley was engaged by Phylfry Cooking Oil as their ambassador and she is bringing her rich hospitality management skills to the industry

The other ambassadors who will be working in tandem with the lead ambassador will above all interface with passengers, both Ghanaians and expatriates in flight. “He stated.
I need to emphasize that the lingua franca will feature some of our Ghanaian dialects and other international languages as the medium of interaction” he confirmed”

Mr Ashong-Mettle intimated that the company has started accepting applications for the position of cabin crew from Ghanaians, which bounds up with the company’s position to eradicate the canker of unemployment in the country.
He assured that the company is committed to ensure that the interests of Ghanaians are promoted and protected, adding that Goldstar Airlines will receive into its fold with open arms, performers, players and stakeholders in the tourism and aviation industries.

He added that the airline is working with some stakeholders and players in the music and movies industries which will constitute seventy percent (70%) of our in-flight entertainment, which will create economic gains to the industries.
Towards this end, Goldstar Airlines welcomes other stakeholders in the music and movies industries to work in a collaborative effort to promote local content on all our aircrafts.

Again, the company will remain dogged in its position to give pride of place to Ghanaians, adding that Ghanaian local dishes and drinks will be served on board the aircraft, which will generate income to the agriculture and the brewery industries and above all Ghana stands first” he contended”
