Starbow Airlines was a Ghanaian private airline that operated scheduled domestic and regional services in West Africa. Founded in 2010, it became one of Ghana's most prominent low-cost carriers, offering services primarily from Accra to other Ghanaian cities and select regional destinations. The airline aimed to make air travel more accessible and affordable for Ghanaians, competing with larger regional carriers. It operated modern turboprop and jet aircraft suited for shorter routes within the sub-region. Starbow faced financial difficulties over the years, and by 2018 the airline had suspended operations, citing economic challenges, high operating costs, and a difficult aviation environment in Ghana.
