Member of Parliament for Asawase Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka has criticized local airlines in the country for haphazard services they render to passengers. According to the Minority Chief Whip, regulators of airlines must sanction companies who are not up to task.

“… the regulators who are supposed to be monitoring this, whether they’re really aware and whether they’re up to task; because when these things happen you expect that the regulators will be counting then number of times that these things happen.

“… it’s becoming too many and I think that the airlines should sit up because gradually with the gains that we have made in terms of domestic flights, if we’re not careful we’ll begin closing them because people will begin losing confidence” he stated.

Mr. Muntaka was among passengers who had their flights delayed as a result of a plane crash involving Starbow Airlines expressed his frustration and dissatisfaction at recurrent poor services rendered by domestic airlines in the country.
