Akwa Ibom State-based airline Ibom Air has expanded its fleet with the addition of a second Airbus A220-300 aircraft.
According to a statement signed by its Marketing and Communications Manager, Mrs Aniekan Essienette, and made available to journalists in Uyo on Tuesday, the Airbus will arrive in Nigeria on August 10, 2024, via the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
He also said that the shareholder, the Akwa Ibom State Government, formally received the shipment on Tuesday amidst great pomp and circumstance at the Victor Atta International Airport, Uyo.
Essienette explained that the acquisition of the second Airbus is in line with Ibom Air’s strategic objectives to rapidly increase its capacity and expand its route network.


According to the statement, “The Airbus A220-300, celebrated for its fuel efficiency, environmental sustainability, and passenger comfort, will enable Ibom Air to increase flight frequencies on existing routes and expand to new destinations.”
While giving his welcome remark, the Chairman of Ibom Air, Pastor Imoabasi Jacob, saluted the resilience and doggedness of Ibom Air’s management and the strong support of the state governor Pastor Umo Eno.
She said Pastor Umo Eno expressed enthusiasm for the development of the airline in his remarks on the arrival of the Airbus.


“The arrival of our second Airbus A220 reiterates the state’s unwavering commitment to advancing our aviation sector. This addition aligns with our strategic vision for Ibom Air and supports the economic growth and development of Akwa Ibom State by enhancing air travel and connectivity, creating job opportunities, and boosting tourism.”
Essienette revealed that the Chief Executive Officer of Ibom Air, Mr Mfon Udom, stressed the importance of the fleet expansion to the airline’s operations.


“We are thrilled to welcome our second wholly owned Airbus A220. This aircraft will significantly boost our capacity in response to the growing service demand.
“A special thanks to the Nigerian financial institutions who continue to partner with Ibom Air, especially Fidelity Bank and Union Bank.
“We appreciate the tremendous support shown to us by our valued customers recently as we bore through flight disruption. We are committed to delivering remarkable improvements moving forward.”
She stressed that Ibom Air, as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Akwa Ibom State Government, strives to establish a benchmark as the airline of choice for passengers.
“The airline focuses on schedule reliability, on-time departures, and outstanding service. Ibom Air’s fleet comprises seven aircraft: five Bombardier CRJ 900s and two Airbus A220-300s. It serves six domestic destinations in Nigeria and Accra, Ghana.” she said.
