It's Official: Ibom Air Welcomes Second Airbus A220-300



Ibom Air has officially announced the arrival of its second Airbus A220-300 aircraft, which had earlier arrived in Nigeria via Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, on August 10, 2024.


The Shareholder, the Akwa Ibom State Government, formally received the aircraft today, August 20th, 2024, at Victor Attah International Airport, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.


This acquisition aligns with Ibom Air’s strategic goal of rapidly increasing capacity and expanding its route network. 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's management and the strong support of Pastor Umo Eno.


His Excellency, Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Pastor Umo Eno, expressed his enthusiasm for this development, stating: "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."


Ibom Air's CEO, Mr. Mfon Udom, emphasized the significance of this addition to the fleet. "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.


The Executive Director of Fidelity Bank, Kevin Ugwuoke,  who represented the CEO, remarked on behalf of the consortium of financiers: “We share a common passion for Akwa Ibom state, and we are delighted to join them on this journey.”


This Airbus A220-300 was acquired from Carlyle Aviation, adding to the nine remaining aircraft scheduled for delivery in the coming years. The first A220-300 in the fleet, delivered in November 2024, has already demonstrated exceptional comfort, safety, and operational efficiency.


Ibom Air is setting the benchmark as the airline of choice for passengers with schedule reliability, on-time departures, and outstanding service. It currently operates a fleet of 7 aircraft, including 5 Bombardier CRJ 900s and 2 Airbus A220-300s. It flies to 6 domestic destinations in Nigeria and Accra, Ghana.

Wow! Stunning! Hilton seems to be taking Africa by storm. Just a couple of years back, they opened the first ever in Eswatini.

I am really tempted to book the next ethiopian airlines ticket and relive your journey. The pictures shared with the post also reflect that you truly enjoyed the travel. Great post! I also like the fact that you have covered nuances about the food and entertainment service through the pictures. It helps people know what to expect on their travel by this airline.
