Goldstar Air, the wings of Ghana and Belly of America is proud to announce partnerships with some teaching hospital dialysis units by supporting them with machines and reciprocating it in all regional hospitals, as the airline’s corporate social responsibility (CSR).
The airline will be expecting the centers to operate 24-hour service at their dialysis centers to take care of any affected patients, including our employees. The dialysis machine will reduce the exorbitant cost of dialysis treatment in Ghana and will offer a glimmer of hope with a lower cost and help employees and families get kidney transplants.
Dialysis is a lifesaving treatment for people with kidney failure or end-stage renal disease (ESRD). You may stay on dialysis indefinitely or just until you can get a kidney transplant.
In Ghana, many families go through significant difficulties, including selling their properties to take care of a family member with kidney failure. The number of families that have suffered, having to sell properties that were kept for so many years to take care of one person suffering from kidney failure, is a lot in the country.
Goldstar Air has developed an initiative called Pocket Change For Smile to fund dialysis machines. This initiative will raise funds to cover the cost through our passengers donating spare coins, where donations of foreign or domestic currency are collected in support of the program.
The airline’s 24-hour service will encourage passengers to donate their spare change from their international travel into one of the many designated boxes at the airport lounges, by the check-in counters, at the departure waiting area, and inflight before the arrival at their intended destination.
Goldstar Air’s Pocket Change For Smile coin donor-based fundraising initiative program funds raised will also be used to support orphanages, provide feminine hygiene packages for girls at schools, provide assistance for water and sanitation to communities that are lacking access, distribute exercise and test books, provide chairs and desks to schools, supporting communities as they are made known to the airline.
The airline will collaborate with other international organizations with a common goal and vision to join in our Pocket Change For Smile to help reach the needy worldwide to distribute the funds.
An innovative partnership between the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and some international airlines, since its launch, the Change for Good program has generated over 185 million US Dollars. Change for Good provides UNICEF and international airlines with a unique partnership opportunity. It enables UNICEF to deliver the message to a captive audience, while airlines demonstrate their commitment to social responsibility and increase customer loyalty.
The airline’s strategic mortgage agreement will allow Goldstar Air to assist employees willing to own their choice of houses by providing the necessary assets to enable them to acquire their real estate properties and take steps to facilitate the payment of monthly installments for the price of properties through deduction from the salaries of employees.
This benefit will uniquely help them finish the payment in time to have peace of mind and to consider other lifetime needs. Younger generations who may need help saving for a home in today’s market, have the answers with Goldstar Air.
The employees of Goldstar Air will avoid the down payment associated with the mortgage and rather have monthly income to offset this home ownership. A matching contribution and three months’ salary savings for each junior staff will also enable them to purchase imported used cars of their choice and make their movement to and from work easier to maintain high-level operations and deliver good services.
Goldstar Air’s 24-hour service will also be initiating a biweekly (2 weeks) employee pay structure in Ghana, which will align with other destinations’ salary structure to avoid employment discrimination and be the first of its kind in the aviation sector in the country.
The airline will be in partnership with travel and tour agencies across the land, by providing them with our ticket sales platform, including information on our ticketing and tour packages. More than 90 percent of the travel agencies in Ghana do not have an international billing or distribution system because of the fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) bank guarantee, so Goldstar Air will introduce a billing or distribution system that will accept any deposit amount agents prefer to make to issue tickets against and this will come as a relief to them. The airline will also offer Ghana tour operators competitive air tickets to their clients, ensuring customer satisfaction always.
As part of Goldstar Air’s initiative to build the agencies for them to provide employment and also to avoid the fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) bank guarantee, the airline has pledged to offer some seed money to travel agencies that have registered with Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) for over a year and that the agencies must be willing to apply for Goldstar Air’s distribution system or local billing system and pay the same amount or more to sell our tickets and travel agencies will earn reasonable commissions.
The airline with its 24-hour service is projecting a fleet of more than one hundred (100) modern aircraft to a network of more than ninety (90) key business and leisure destinations, which will be a massive investment and game changer for sustainable economic development in Ghana.
Goldstar Air has set its sights on the liberalization of Air Transport in Africa for socioeconomic development, by introducing Afrik Allianz and Afrik Insurance to become a leading Gross Domestic Product (GDP) contributor on the continent.
Afrik Allianz is a strategic move to enhance connectivity, streamline operations, offer travelers more options on the African continent, and identify the potential benefits of collaboration, such as cost-sharing, code-sharing, and joint marketing efforts. Develop common standards for ticketing, baggage handling, and passenger services.
Afrik Allianz’s Liberalization of Air Transport in Africa is to stimulate increased trade volume, investment, and business activities on the African continent, with massive job creation, poverty reduction, foreign exchange earnings, and making the airlines financial instrument of Africa.
To optimize 24/7/365 operational efficiency and reduce costs, Afrik Allianz members will collaborate in resource sharing, including lounges, terminal space, ground handling services, common marketing programs, maintenance bases, and IT systems, which will reduce overall costs. The collaboration effort aims to ensure a consistent level of service while maintaining financial independence and brand identity for member carriers in creating millions of job opportunities for teeming African youth.
Airlines from various countries may have distinct organizational cultures, communication styles, and decision-making processes. Bridging these cultural gaps is essential for effective collaboration. Competing airlines must overcome historical rivalries and find common ground. Building trust among Afrik Allianz members is crucial. Members must collaborate openly, share information, and work together for mutual benefit. Some members may contribute more to the alliance in terms of routes, while others have limited coverage, therefore revenue-sharing models and cost-sharing arrangements will be fair and sustainable.
Goldstar Air Maintenance Repair Overhaul, Cargo Village, Aviation Training school, and unique Aviation Catering Services in Tamale and 24-hour operations will provide and help build aviation professionals’ capability and capacity, ensuring they can thrive in a rapidly changing industry. The airline will give scholarships to the less privileged in Northern Ghana through On-the-job training so they can be part of future aviation professionals.
The airline will offer a full range of high-quality FAA and EASA-approved aviation training courseware and reference products that will be trusted around the globe for decades. The school will take an application-oriented approach to training, which incorporates real-world scenarios and examples, so people will discover the why and how of aeronautical concepts and not just the facts needed to pass a test.
One may obtain the training and experience necessary to become an FAA-certificated Airframe and or Powerplant Mechanic via two means. The first is Academy training through an FAA-certificated Aviation Maintenance Technician School (AMTS) and the second is On-the-job training (OJT) that provides practical experience with the procedures, practices, materials, tools, machine tools, and equipment generally used in constructing, maintaining, or altering airframes or powerplants, appropriate to the rating sought.
Once you meet the On-the-job experience requirements, there are commercially available Airframe and Powerplant refresher courses and Airframe and Powerplant prep courses that will help prepare you to pass the airman knowledge written, oral, and practical tests.
Usually, On-the-job training is the most inexpensive method for gaining the required experience. You will need to document consistently your OJT (On-the-job training) activities. FAA recommends you record your experience on an Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT) log. In your log, ensure you include the Maintenance task performed, Time spent on each task, and Validation by a certificated Airframe and or Powerplant Technician.
Goldstar Air sets its sights on becoming a leading contributor to the Gross Domestic Product. Commercial aviation is a valuable contributor to global economic prosperity and provides the only rapid worldwide transportation network, which makes it essential for global business. It generates economic growth, creates jobs, and facilitates international trade and tourism.
Commercial aviation drives 5% of the United States GDP, the equivalent of $1.37 trillion in 2023. Every day, United States Airlines operates more than 26,000 flights carrying 2.6 million passengers to and from nearly 80 countries and 61,000 tons of cargo to and from more than 220 countries.
One of the industries that relies most heavily on aviation is tourism. According to the (UNWTO) World Tourism Barometer, global tourism continued its recovery in 2023, ending at 88 percent of pre-pandemic levels with an estimated 1.3 billion international tourist arrivals. By facilitating tourism, air transport helps generate economic growth, alleviate poverty, and provide a lifeline for remote communities.
Goldstar Air will leverage key sectors of the economy to stimulate over half a percentage point of Ghana’s Gross Domestic Product in the quest to revive intriguing parts of the Ghanaian economy, using our 24/7 service operations to showcase our capabilities as an economic tool for the country.
Services remained the largest sector of the Ghanaian economy, accounting for 47% of Gross Domestic Product at basic prices, to which Goldstar Air wants to contribute half annually. Industry and agriculture accounted for 32% and 21% of the Gross Domestic Product, respectively.
