  • Be Bold 11 years ago

    I was enjoying your article till you made it tribal. What prove do you have that "People with northern names are most often the victims"? Could it simply be that people who live in the area are affected the most? It is a comm ...

    That's a bunch of bullcrap to opine that people with northeren names are discriminated against by Starbow eployees. Yes I was on board with your article until you reared your ugly tribal head into the issue. Dumb and insecure ...

    It is not a common practice for airlines or car rental agencies to give priority to visitors or tourists over local residents when it comes to booking or fulfilling a contract. That is total misinformation.

    This is nothing new. Starbow is taking a page from the defunct Ghana Airways.
    Ghana is a failed state.

  • fulani 11 years ago

    Yeah, corruption everywhere....oh mama africa.

  • CT Padmore 11 years ago

    Ghana is hardly a failed state, is only some few people who have failed Ghana.Don't give give up on our mother Ghana,together we can arrest those few Ghanians failing the country and bring about stability.Keep faith alive.

    If that is true then we are in for trouble. The only remedy is to stop patronizing starbow and go for the tried and tested Antrak air and the others.

  • Femi Antwi 11 years ago

    Tested Antrak Air??? you make me laugh clearly you have not flown from Kumasi with them and met the crook that swindles the baggage fees there

    If there are about four airlines plying the same route, passengers can simply shift allegiance. That is why we have competition. Unless of course Starbow is a government airline?

  • Nora Owusu 11 years ago

    Apart from increasing fares and cheating on flight reservations they also steal from passengers and yet when complain the officials will not do anything about it. This is a very bad habit. They should desist from it.

  • STEVO 11 years ago

    We tolerate corruption too much in Ghana

  • Nii 11 years ago

    Congrats, Starbow, for being proactive. I hope other airlines and businesses learn from you.

  • Kweku Boateng Jnr 11 years ago

    Ili, you know what to do. Boycott Starbow! Organised Aluta is the answer and dare take the management to court. Low quality delivery is what one gets across the country from POWER AND WATER COMPANIES to the telecoms.

  • afiba 11 years ago

    mr.aluta what evidence do u have. pls give me a break

  • Kweku Boateng 11 years ago

    If a company treats its customers badly what do you expect? Boycott. I have travelled on this airline and I have experienced what the former BBC journalist Mr Adam wrote.Treat Ghanaians with respect. Just check Africa World a ...

    Show us the evidence.

  • doobia 11 years ago

    Lets keep a cool head and get to the bottom of this. The tribal angle is what bothers me. for the sake of its credibility Management of Starbow must take this up.

  • Odasani 11 years ago

    I am dissapointed in Starbow (i.e: assuming these allegations are true). Not too long ago (December of 2011) I travelled to Tamale on Starbow (after reading a few positive things about them) and I was happy with their service ...

    I think starbow can do better. This matter should not be swept under the carpet. What i dont like about starbow is the delays. They hardly keep to takeoff time and this can be frustrating atimes

  • DAN 11 years ago

    except weather or equipment problems..even bus's in usa have time tables they must follow to allow easy onward travel on other bus. Only in africa does the bus or plane move when full!

    Total dishonesty will lead to bankrupt soon.let's watch this.

    You Africans are joke!

  • kofi sefa 11 years ago

    Why don't they get rid of this Starbow! Obviously they are trying to monopolize the situation in Ghana. If they are not happy with the business, why not let them leave Ghana. Riding the buses and trucks probably better anyw ...
