Accra-based Starbow adds two BAe 146s


New Accra-based regional Starbow (S9) has acquired two additional BAe 146s for its regional and domestic routes, Falko Regional Aircraft announced. The aircraft, one BAe 146-300 and one BAe 146-200, will double its fleet to four aircraft . 

S9 is leasing the aircraft from British Virgin Island lessor Riva Investments, which purchased them from Falko; deliveries are anticipated in May.
S9, which relaunched under new ownership in September, operates domestic routes with two BAe 146-300s configured with eight seats in business class and 86 in economy. It offers 16X-weekly Kumasi service, 7X-weekly Tamale service and 5X-weekly flights to Takoradi.
In the 2012 second quarter, S9 plans to offer flights from Accra to Abidjan in the Ivory Coast, Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso, Monrovia in Liberia, and Cotonou in Benin.
