Ibom Air is set to induct another Airbus A220-300 to its fleet having taken delivery of the narrow-body aircraft in Maastricht, the Netherlands The acquisition of this new aircraft is a strategic move by the airline to boost its capacity and meet growing demand.
The delivery event, which was held at Maastricht Airport in the Netherlands, was personally attended by the Shareholder, His Excellency Pastor Umo Eno, Governor of Akwa Ibom State, accompanied by a few dignitaries, including the Secretary to the State Government, Prince Enobong Uwah and Hon. Effiong Etim Johnson, Chief Whip, Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly, amongst others.
Also in attendance were Ibom Air’s Executive team, led by the Accountable Manager and CEO, Mfon Udom; the Executive Director and COO, Mr. George Uriesi; and other Ibom Air Management team members.
Ibom Air had, in October 2021, placed a firm order for 10 Airbus A220-300 aircraft, the first of which was delivered in November 2023. However, with demand for the airline’s product outpacing the delivery schedule of the order, the airline decided to purchase this A220 from Carlyle Aviation, a world-renowned aircraft lessor and global player in the industry.
The addition of this aircraft will bring Ibom Air’s fleet of A220s to 11, after the delivery of the outstanding nine units. It is worth noting the continuing embrace of aircraft financing by Nigerian banks. This new purchase was financed by both Fidelity and Union Banks, with Fidelity as the majority partner. Ibom Air is delighted to have Nigerian financial institutions supporting its growth.
Ibom Air is a limited liability company wholly owned by the Akwa Ibom State Government in Nigeria. It aims to set the standard as an airline of choice for passengers by focusing on schedule reliability, on-time departures, and excellent service. It has a fleet of 7 aircraft, including 5 Bombardier CRJ 900s and 2 Airbus A220-300, covering 7 destinations.

Wow! Stunning! Hilton seems to be taking Africa by storm. Just a couple of years back, they opened the first ever in Eswatini.
Wonderful event and topics discussed, hopefully we see the manifestations in our African airline businesses in the nearest future. Kudos to you all.
