Fourth airplane arriving August, expansion is expected hence the recruitment which will take care of the training at once rather than paying for another training session in future. Meanwhile the management is very distinct from government encumbrances. Hoping to buy shares in future.

TonyeBarcanista:

And you think all 4000 recruits will be engaged at the same time?

He's right, they don't need more than 50 staffs. meanwhile I have something very important to discuss with u in the nearest future. where are u based?

FarahAideed:
This is how they kill something before it even starts, How can airline having just 3 small body CRJs planes want it employ 4000 people considering the small profit margins available in Aviation Business

There is no mention of 4,000 being employed in the story. But be that as it may, if the plan is to employ that lot of people, then that is tantamount to starting on a wrong footing.

Ethiopian Air, the most profitable airline in Africa does not have that no of employees even with the fleet it has.

South Africa Airline even with the fleet it has has just declared loss for the year just ended.

Airline business should not be handled the civil service way.

Anywhere in Nigeria

Exactly my thoughts. Is this supposed to be an enterprise or a populist project?

Abbeyme:
4000?

TO manage how many aircrafts and how many projected customers?

Maybe you mean 40 not 4000

how will employ 40 people for new airport.... Grow up

onymodel:
To work in where and where....Even Emirates Air does not have up to 2000 employees

is it ur employ

4000 WORKERS for three aircraft

Una do start again ooo

4000 indeed. But to employ only indigenes? Really?

Classickj:
how will employ 40 people for new airport.... Grow up

Tell that to your father and show some decorum here!

nelcliff:



Are you sure you are okay at all.

Did you just say and quote: Small profit margins available in Aviation?

Guy confirm your source very well.

Arik air has been in serious debt, they recently started gaining profit because of a change in management. Aviation business isn't as profitable as you imagine it to be, especially in Nigeria.

How many flights do they have that they need 4000 staff?

Habba! You have 3 aircraft and you want to employ 4000 people ,you will kill that venture under one year

By Umoh-Obong Kingsley

Recruitment is ongoing at the first state-owned aircraft in Africa, Ibom Air, for young, energetic youths who are interested in the aviation industry.

This was disclosed by the Commissioner for Special Duties and Aviation Development, Hon Akan Okon, while addressing newsmen during the arrival of the 3rd aircraft at the Victor Attah International Airport, on Thursday.

He said the recruitment process, ranging from aptitude test to oral interviews, is handled professionally, and that opportunities would be given to qualified applicants without any form of recommendation to get employment.

Then Commissioner added that the airline is properly and professionally managed in line with the code of governance in the airline industry, and that the highest level of professionalism is adhered to.

According to him, what makes the difference in any society is leadership, as there may exist the material resources but without a good leader, it would be impossible to manage it.

Hon Akan congratulated Akwa Ibom State for having a leader like Governor Udom Emmanuel who he said, has shown leadership qualities, adding that before the end of his eight years tenure, a lot of significant progress would be recorded in terms of other components of the airport.

The influx of passengers at the airport has been on the increase since the construction of the Uyo-Arochukwu road by Governor Emmanuel, which has saved the long hours of going through Port Harcourt.

Some of the vacant positions, according to the Commissioner, include Cabin Safety Crew, Flight Operations, Aerodromes, Airworthiness, Airport Engineers, Flight Attendants, Aviation Meteologist, and Airport Administrative Support among others.

Application form is filled and submitted online via www.ibomair.com

in as much as i don't like UDOM (its my opinion) this is a grate development. if this industry have the capacity to create (4000) jobs hmmmmm i applaud this move.

come to think of it, if all the 36 state (including the FCT and excluding the federal govt.) in this country have an airline with at least 3 aircraft that employ 4000 people. that means a total of 148000 jobs will be created.

TonyeBarcanista:
Exactly! Udom is magic

but is it possible that ibom air can employ up to 4000. this could be a propaganda.

This is why sometimes I'm ashamed to identify with blind, illogical and gullible Akwa Ibom youths.

The present government is so comfortable with lies and creating false impression to the outside world. Full of scam!


Despicable lot

Hmmm! Aviation business and government bureaucracy can't go hand in hand. Guys, pls aviation is not as profitable as we think in this part of the world. This will likely be a financial burden on the state and will fizzle out in due time. Aviation business is not for our type of government. Time will tell

Akwa-ibom ayaya

Every state should have a product to sell not just to fellow Nigerians but to the larger world....

If states are encouraged to develop their resources Nigeria will be a better place....

But All these governor's do is wait 4 federal allocation....bail out.... international loans.....excess from crude oil
Yet dey don't pay salaries when due....

You Are Right My Dear. But I Dnt Think Most States In The North Will Agree

That what’s they always say! Udom working with oldies...

Akbc dg said the same! We yet to see akbc be like cnn

INVINCIBLECSP:
You Are Right My Dear. But I Dnt Think Most States In The North Will Agree

My brother they will not too
And I think it's because our leaders are tired hands and heads and obviously lazy hearts....

I think part of the selection criteria 4 governorship candidates should include ideas to sell the states to the world......

Also the national assembly should not be such an attractive job...rather it Should be for professionals dragged from all the sectors available....it should be more of a selfless service...less allowances

You can add yours.

Scamming Akwa Ibomites since I can remember....Dey have already recruited & they are not going to recruit more than 400 people.

Nonsense politics. Let's see how long it will last

Make this Udom just finish our seaport.
He got my vote.

Well done Akwa ibom state. Am always happy when people, groups, firms,even government do wat is right.a clear indication that they are God fearing.To d state government.

TonyeBarcanista:

And you think all 4000 recruits will be engaged at the same time?

And you did not listen when we were given the projections of the company up till 2023?

Akpabio matter pain you oo!

AZeD1:
I don't know what is it with Nigerian governors and airports/airlines.

This is a terrible idea and a waste of public funds.

Instead of hating, try to applaud AkwaIbom state. The state has been growing consistently. We cannot say the same for many others

"they recently started gaining profit because of a change in management"

1. Study Emirates and see how an airline that started with less than 5 aircrafts in 1985 now boasts of close to 250 aircrafts.

2. Mismanagement is the problem with airlines e.g Laker airlines in 1981 in the UK that packed up. Also study Nigeria airways.

Air travel is very lucrative. Do not be discouraged. Let us all encourage our own so that this country can get better.

this is real governance not stupid politics, we all know what happened to Nigerian Airways

All True. But Nigerian Politicians Won't Allow That To Happen Cus They Are Greedy And Selfish
