Ibom Air adds two aircraft to fleet

Nigeria based Ibom Air added two aircraft to its fleet bringing its total fleet count to nine aircraft. The two CRJ900s registered as 5N-CED and 5N-CEE were both delivered towards the end of October from China, where they were placed with China Express Airlines.

Chief Executive Officer of Ibom Air, Mr Mfon Udom said: “We are delighted to welcome these two new CRJ 900 aircraft to our fleet. With this addition, Ibom Air now operates a total of nine aircraft, including two Airbus A220-300s and seven CRJ 900s. Still, we are not resting because to become a serious scheduled carrier, we need to keep growing our fleet. And so we eagerly await the deliveries of our nine remaining Airbus A220-300s from Airbus in the next three years. These two new CRJ 900s were outright purchases financed through a shareholder loan. Their addition will bring more capacity to Ibom Air’s service offerings, facilitating better connectivity and reliability for travellers.”
