Starbow Airlines was a Ghanaian private airline that operated scheduled domestic and regional passenger services. Founded in 2010, it quickly became one of Ghana's leading low-cost carriers, offering competitive fares on routes within Ghana and to neighboring West African countries.
The airline operated from Kotoka International Airport in Accra and served key destinations including Kumasi, Tamale, and Takoradi domestically, as well as select international routes. Starbow positioned itself as a budget-friendly alternative to legacy carriers in the region.
Starbow Airlines ceased operations in 2018 following financial difficulties, leaving a significant gap in Ghana's domestic aviation market. Its closure was part of a broader pattern of challenges facing low-cost carriers in West Africa, including high operating costs and infrastructure limitations.
