Ibom air is still developing Lagos hub for Lagos, why is aksg doing this? Can someone explain to me?

Hunchogee:
I don't understand you , areyoy saying the should fly uyo to pH?
Bring your suggestions

rollingrocks:
I wrote what you read, what's wrong with Uyo-Kano? As far as I'm concerned Ibom air is building Lagos hub period!!! When will the regional routes start?

Hunchogee:
Have you considered the uyo base traffic to Kano?

rollingrocks:
For that route for now, you can't base your plans on Uyo passengers alone. Currently passengers from the South East or South South heading to far North - Kano, Katsina, Jigawa, Kaduna etc have to fly to Abuja or Lagos first before taking another flight to their destinations. You might think, you might not get the traffic, but when you start, passengers from cities around (PH, Calabar, Aba, Umuahia, Owerri, Abakalilki, etc) will prefer to come to Uyo to fly directly to Kano rather than fly twice, first to Lagos or Abuja then to the far North. Kano is a good start, its the "Lagos" of the North. The CRJ 900 is perfect for a start. That how to build a route rather than foraging on already established routes and even strengthening the already saturated Lagos Hub. I have seen Ibom air's expansion plans and I am saddened to inform you that Ibom air is just there the serve other Nigerian airports. Nothing in that plan shows that they are interested in building Uyo hub. Ibom air plans to fly Duala, Banjul,Malabo, are they planning to fly from Lagos or Abuja? That will be a disaster for Uyo hub. The worst should be Uyo-Lagos-Banjul or Uyo-Abuja-Banjul if not it should be Uyo directly to those destinations. The Uyo hub has to fed properly before they plan those regional routes. That's where the indirect impacts of the airline will be felt most in Akwa Ibom-hotels, restaurants, commerce, etc. If this is not done Ibom air will just be another new good airline serving other destinations but without indirect benefits to Uyo Airport and Akwa Ibom at large. Other airlines can as well ferry people in and out of Uyo to Lagos and Abuja as before. No other airline will build Uyo hub for you, Ibom air should pick up the gauntlet and get to work immediately.
