Goldstar Air has named the leader of Buipe Traditional Area, Buipewura Jinapor II Abdulai after one of it’s aircraft as part of activities to fully operate in the northern sector of Ghana. The management of the airline disclosed this on Thursday, 4th November, 2021, at the palace of Buipewura during the day one activities to climax the 2021 Damba festival. The management expressed gratitude to the leader and promised to collaborate with the traditional all to help the growth and development of the area.
The following is a step by step speech read by Goldstar Air management.
“The management of Goldstar Air would like to express its gratitude to everyone here, as well as the Overlord of the Buipe Traditional Area, His Royal Majesty Buipewura Jinapor II, for providing us this
opportunity.
We’ve come to provide Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) at the Buipe Damba Festival today (BUDA FEST 21) and to honor His Royal Majesty Buipewura Jinapor II by naming one of our aircraft
after him, and to notify him of how we would collaborate and work efficiently and effectively with the communities under his jurisdiction.
“It is worth dying for a nation that honors its living heroes and heroines.” As a result, the company believes it is appropriate to honor distinguished Ghanaians.
Goldstar Air will construct a 250 x 250 x 75 hangar in the northern regional capital of Tamale for aircraft maintenance and refurbishment, as well as use the Tamale airport as our second hub.
The airline is planning the Goldstar City project, which will be located in Tamale and will contain housing, a training school, and other amenities for our engineers, pilots, cabin crew, and other staff.
When fully functioning, this facility will create new commercial prospects while also promoting northern Ghana to the rest of the world.
Goldstar Air is a wholly-owned Ghanaian airline that will be initially flying to twelve destinations, namely London, Baltimore Washington International Airport, Dubai, Providence International Airport,
Guangzhou, Dakar, Lagos, Monrovia, Abidjan, Freetown, Conakry, Banjul, and pending cities such as Atlanta-Georgia, Chicago-Illinois,
Glasgow-Scotland and Houston-Texas.
Your Majesty, I am pleased to announce that Goldstar Air plans to have a fleet of more than one hundred (100) modern aircraft serving a network of more than ninety (90) key business and leisure destinations throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, the Caribbean, and North America.
Our goal as Ghanaians is to create a cutting-edge aviation sector capable of competing in worldwide markets in terms of safety, quality, dependability, timeliness, efficiency, and prices.
I am pleased to announce that Goldstar Air will feature seventy percent local content, including Ghanaian food, music, movies, and announcements in Ghanaian languages, with a language from the north prominently featured, and will also export trained labor through agency on call, charter, and aircraft leasing.
With Ghanaians prominently featured in connection to the possibilities the airline would offer, it will favor economies of scale, positioning Goldstar Air to involve more locals, initially, a minimum of 5,000 direct and indirect jobs will be created in Ghana.
The airline’s aim is to advocate the cause of Ghana’s socioeconomic progress by selling made in Ghana items, promoting Ghana tourist
attractions, and projecting the entertainment and cultural sectors on board our aircraft.
Your Majesty, this will generate work chances not only for the youth in Buipe, but for every young child searching for a good job opportunity.
When completed, this project would raise the tourism profile and promote investor confidence, which is ideally aligned with the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AFCFTA), of
which Ghana is the host.
Pilots, Ground Service Crew, Maintenance Service Persons, Cabin
Crew, Counter Agents, Travel Agents, Tour Operators, Country Managers, Station Managers, Accountants, Flight Dispatch, Drivers,
Marketing Personnel, Air Marshalls, Cargo Agents, Catering Service Persons, Hotel Industry, and Fuel Suppliers are among the jobs available.
Your Majesty, you will be excited to know that in the United States of America, Goldstar Air has received two years of free landing, parking, advertising, and office space from Mr. Pimentel, assistant vice president Air Service Department at Providence International Airport, and Mr. Storck, director Air Service Department and
Strategic Analysis at Baltimore Washington International Airport.
In Scotland, which will be our future destination, we have been offered similar incentives where we have one year free parking, landing and office space by Mr. Paul White who is the business Development Manager and Mr. Robert Love Aero Commercial
Analyst at Glasgow International Airport.
We will collaborate with Ghana Post Services to improve courier services and give opportunities for local insurance companies to
cover our wide-body aircrafts in Ghana, enhancing the insurance premium-to-GDP ratio (GDP).
Goldstar Air aspires to be among the first hundred finest enterprises in Africa.
As I conclude my address, let me leave you with this meaningful quote: “Coming together is the beginning, staying together is
progress, and working together is success.”
Thank you very much.
His Royal Majesty Buipewura Jinapor II
