Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno, has described the acquisition of a new Airbus aircraft for Ibom Air as a significant milestone, saying it reflects the consistency of his administration’s investment in expanding the state-owned airline and strengthening the aviation sector.
A statement issued from the state government’s media unit in Uyo, the state capital, on Thursday, said the governor stated this while speaking with newsmen shortly after arriving at the Ibom International Airport.
Eno said the new aircraft was significant not only to Ibom Air but to the state’s broader efforts to build a strong aviation ecosystem, adding that the latest acquisition brings the number of Airbus aircraft to three since his administration assumed office in 2023.
According to him, the development demonstrated his administration’s consistency and deliberate investment in aviation.
