The crash, which resulted in five minor injuries occurred after the aircraft skidded off the runway during its take-off run. Aside the 2017 crash, some other incidents involving Starbow airlines have been recorded in previous years. In 2014, two people were injured after a Takoradi bound Starbow aircraft made an emergency landing. The Ghana Civil Aviation Authority and other stakeholders in the aviation sector, have often been criticized for not cracking the whip enough on these airline operators, hence putting the lives of passengers at risk.
