Accra, Ghana-based Aero Surveys, operating under the commercial name Starbow, plans to lease two more BAe 146 regional jetliners starting in May. The aircraft, one BAe 146-300 and one BAe 146-200, will double its fleet size to four aircraft and will add capacity to satisfy increasing demand.

Starbow started domestic operations in Ghana last September with a flight to the domestic center Kumasi. Experiencing dramatic traffic growth since then, it now uses its pair of BAe 146-300s to serve Kumasi with 16 flights a week, Tamale with seven flights a week and Takoradi with five flights a week.
