Ibom Air adds second A220 to fleet

On the 10th of August, Nigerian based Ibom Air received their second A220-300 aircraft. The first A220 was delivered in November 2023. Ibom Air placed an order for 10 A220s during the Dubai Airshow in 2021. It is important to note that the recently delivered A220 is not part of the order that was placed in Dubai. This unit is on lease from Carlyle Aviation and is 4 years old. It was previously operated by Air Senegal.

Ibom Air’s CEO, Mr. Mfon Udom, said: “We are thrilled to welcome our second wholly owned Airbus A220. This aircraft will significantly boost our capacity in response to the growing service demand. A special thanks to the Nigerian financial institutions who continue to partner with Ibom Air, especially Fidelity Bank and Union Bank. We appreciate the tremendous support shown to us by our valued customers recently as we bore through flight disruption. We are committed to delivering remarkable improvements moving forward.”
