Akwa Ibom Government Acquires Two New Aircraft For Ibom Air by Oluwolex2000(m): 9:44pm On Jan 07, 2020
The Akwa Ibom State Government has acquired two new aircraft for Ibom Airlines to make a total of five aircraft owned by the state.

Chairman of Ibom Air, Air Commodore Idongesit Nkanga (rtd), said during a press conference with newsmen in Uyo that the new aircraft would be unveiled this January.

He said Ibom Air had made about 3,000 flights since it began operations in June, and is now flying more routes.

Nkanga explained that before 2023, the state would float 10 aircraft, adding that the government had invested a lot in the aviation business to boost the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) of the state.

He revealed that the coming of Ibom Air had brought substantial economic improvement to the state. “Within these eight months, we will have five aircraft.

Towards the end of last year, possibly by October, we are expecting to add about two more aircraft to the existing three.

We did that because it was towards the Yuletide and we expected more people to travel.

But there was a little delay. “Additional two aircraft are arriving this January.

Within these eight months, we will have five aircraft. We have operated about 3,000 flight.

We have increased our routes, because when we first started, it was Uyo to Lagos and Uyo to Abuja. We have since added Abuja to Lagos and Lagos to Abuja.

“We have done enough to make on time departure and we have made about 97percent on time departure. “Before the end of this administration, we should be able to acquire 10 aircraft.

That is the target, before 2022 we should expand the domestic, regional and international routes,” he stated.

Are people too shock to comment on positive news ?

And for the mor0n who said 'misplaced priority'. Are travels between Lagos & Abuja misplaced priorities?

Seems some of you are destined for cocoyam farms.

Nice one! Walking the talk.Meanwhile, Ahmed Sirika's famed AIR NIGERIA national carrier remains an imaginary #1.5B logo launched in London.Lai Mohammed have blamed the failure to take off on failure of investors to developed interest in the scam project( as if that was not supposed to be done before then) which zombies defended as usual.

Meanwhile, Mr.President is yet to relinquish the excess aircrafts on the presidential fleet for the promise but failed formation of a national carrier for the past four years.Scam govt.

God bless the people of Akwa ibom

Good, I like what akwaibom and Airpeace are doing. Since FG can't float a national airline and are systematically trying to solely promote azman air like they are doing for dangote because they are northerners. Southerners south patronize their airlines biko. These Islamic people have a plan, i just found out they recently approved an Islamic bank called Taj Bank with its board made up of people with experience in Islamic banking. Naija Make una open eye

Nigeria made a huge mistake in bringing back a lifeless man to power. A mistake they are already paying the price.

Stop negativity.

Politics has turned virtually every Nigerian into a Zone.b and wailer; when their favourite party, tribe or politician does something positive, they exaggerate it but when their opposition does something positive they bury it.

Na who do una like dis?!

This is positive news and we should commend it. Do not let the hatred of a people cloud your reasoning.

Let's celebrate this for now, you can open a thread of minimum wage if you wish.

But dear easterners; would you have said the same thing you're saying now if it was PMB that did this? Be honest with yourselves.

Governance is not only about paying salary, its about holistic development
