Speaking at the occasion, founder of Ibom Air and immediate past Governor of Akwa Ibom, Mr Emmanuel said Ibom Air is the first airline to take delivery of the all-new Airbus A220 in Nigeria.

He said during his time as governor, he had envisaged Ibom Air becoming a dominant player in the aviation sector within the West African and African aviation hub and commended Governor Umo Eno for sustaining the aviation development project of the state.

The Airbus A220-300 stands at the forefront of modern aviation technology, garnering global recognition for its revolutionary fuel efficiency, cutting-edge technology, and top-notch passenger comfort and safety features.

The aircraft is adaptable for short and medium-haul commercial operations, with a range of up to seven hours (up to 3,450 nautical miles).

The addition of the Airbus A220-300 to Ibom Air’s fleet positions the airline for expanded service across diverse destinations within the African continent.

Chief executive officer, Mfon Udom, expressed great enthusiasm on the arrival of the Airbus A220-300, saying, “The introduction of the Airbus A220-300 to our fleet is a game-changing leap forward for Ibom Air.
