Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has conducted a pre-delivery inspection of Ibom Air’s latest brand-new Airbus A220-300 aircraft and toured the Airbus production facility in Mirabel, Quebec, Canada, as the airline prepares to take delivery of the aircraft.
The development marks another milestone in the state government’s sustained investment in Ibom Air and its commitment to strengthening the airline’s fleet and operational capacity.
A statement by the state Commissioner for Information, Aniekan Umana, said the aircraft is the third brand-new Airbus A220-300 in the current delivery series for Ibom Air and is expected to commence operations ahead of the 2026 Christmas and end-of-year travel season.
