2015 Chartered Institute of Marketing Ghana’s (CIMG) domestic airline of the year, Starbow, which was en-route from Accra to Tamale crash-landed on Tuesday, October 6, 2015 at the Tamale airport, making it the second time such an incident has happened in the aviation history of the airline.

In a statement signed by Mr James Eric Antwi – CEO of Starbow Airlines – the flight, S9110, with registration number 9GSBB went through the barricade at the end of the Tamale Airport.

Even though Mr Antwi did not state whether there were casualties or not, he stated that passengers were disembarked safely from the flight via the stairs.

It’s unclear what caused the accident but according to him, they are still gathering facts concerning the unfortunate incident.

However, other reports indicate that the flight had difficulties coming to a halt after it landed, forcing it to come into collision with a barricade on the runway.

In October 2014, a similar incident happened when a Takoradi bound Starbow flight crash-landed in Takoradi due to hydraulic failure.
