  Right now ground all their aircrafts especially that fleet if they have more than one up until investigations are complete since this is the second time in just a year,let us not joke with the lives of the people,aircrafts are not cars that when they develop fault one can just pull over to call mechanics to fix it,there is no landing place in the air to land to check the fault,hence the need for serious maintenance.
  
  BAe 146 is very expensive to maintain,it is an aircraft that has outlived its usefulness.

  They sound as if they have any resources to do any credible investigations. These are old cargo planes that were converted into passenger planes for operations in the so-called Third World. Whoever inspected those fleet before they were put into use in Ghana.

  Please grant access to independent bodies to help investigate: we can invite our counterparts from Togo, Benin, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Liberia, etc. to help.

  GCAA was it not only last week that your MD was touting the achievements of Starbow for passing an IOTA Safety Audit? How exhaustive was that Audit and did it really take place? What do you mean by front tyres of an aeroplane? And Antwi is saying what, when which details become available. Is the a/c the type for such short haul operations? Can starbow compete fairly with the Antraks and the CTK's with that equipment. GCAA should take a bold step and investigate Starbow operations and maintenance properly and stop this window dressing of using their own team of engineers, who after all recommend issue of the C of A. If you want the truth use retired Engineers not those who worked in GCAA to do thwe investigation, only the will the truth emerge. I hope Dzifa is listening and that vindictive retired airforce pilot on the Board who nobody can touch because of a certain mosquito. God save Ghana Aviation.

  Which pole is holding a front tyre? and it developed a problem, what was the problem?. Which "journalist" is reporting this? A real shame if you ask me.

  Nothing will come out of this so called investigation. Where is the report of the Allied Air accident which killed Ghanaians on 1st June a few years ago, any lessons.
  Starbow cannot afford to maintain these Bae 146 aircraft Areeba or Spacefon not with standing. Let them change their fleet. ATR, Embraer, F27, B 737 etc not 4 Jet Engined a/c with low by pass ratio.
