The Governor of Akwa Ibom State, His Excellency, Pastor Umo Eno, today visited the Samco Aviation Maintenance Facility in Maastricht, Netherlands 🇳🇱, to inspect the new Airbus A220–300 series aircraft acquired by Ibom Air. This new acquisition from Carlyle Aviation aims to enhance IbomAir’s operations as they await the delivery of planes previously ordered from Airbus.

According to Captain Mfon Udom, CEO of IbomAir, this addition is crucial to meet the growing demand from passengers who have made IbomAir their airline of choice.

Governor Eno also met with top Airbus executives, including Grainne van den Berg, Vice President, Marketing-Africa & Middle East, and Hadi Akoum, Vice President Sales-Africa. They discussed the delivery timelines for the remaining aircraft ordered by IbomAir during the 2021 Dubai Airshow. Airbus commended the state government for the investment in aviation, especially the construction of the Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facility, which they promised to pay an assessment visit for a possible partnership.

Governor Eno commended IbomAir’s growth and adherence to their business plan. He expressed satisfaction with the new aircraft acquisition, noting, “This addition will further strengthen our airline, which is already performing well. Our administration will continue to support IbomAir.”

The new aircraft, as stated by George Uriese, Chief Operating Officer of IbomAir, will arrive in Nigeria soon after the necessary paperwork is completed.
