The Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Pastor UMO ENO has visited the Samco Aviation Maintenance Facility in Maastricht, Netherlands, to inspect the new Airbus A220-300 series aircraft acquired by IbomAir.

This new acquisition from Carlyle Aviation aims to enhance IbomAir’s operations, as they await the delivery of planes previously ordered from Airbus.

According to Captain MFON UDOM, CEO of IbomAir, this addition is crucial to meet the growing demand from passengers who have made IbomAir their airline of choice.

Governor ENO on the trip also met with top Airbus executives to discuss the delivery timelines for the remaining aircraft ordered by IbomAir during the 2021 Dubai Airshow.

The Airbus team commended the state government for the investment in aviation, especially the construction of the Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facility.
