Nigeria’s startup airline, Ibom Air has recorded its 10, 000th flight on 17th May 2021 after operating in the aviation sector for close to two years since inception.
According to a press release signed by its General Manager, Marketing and Communication, Aniekan Essienette, the 10,000th flight mark comes a little over two months after the 500,000th Passenger was recorded on the 1st of March 2021, a figure that has since been exceeded.
“The Uyo Lagos bound Passengers had the opportunity to have their pictures taken with the banner announcing the flight, just before they boarded.
They also had a little extra something in their goodie bag as a way of saying a special thank you”.
The Chief Operating Officer (COO), of Ibom Air George Uriesi who led the team of Ibom Air staff at the foot of the scheduled flight, was on ground to welcome passengers to the historic flight along with other management staff.
He used the opportunity to thank the flying public for choosing to fly with Ibom Air, “an honour we do not take for granted” he said.
