Aviation minister hails Ibom Air

Hadi Sirika, minister of aviation, has rated Ibom Air, the state-owned airline, highly in safety, reliability, discipline and performance.

The minister took to his personal Twitter handle to announce his satisfaction with the performance of the airline.

“Was onboard Ibom Air to Uyo this morning, very impressed with the COVID19 protocols established by both the Airline and the Airport,” the minister posted.

Tweeting via @preyeaganaba, one Preye Aganaba, a passenger, said, “I also flew it for the first time last week Tuesday to Uyo from Abuja. I really enjoyed my flight. New plane, courteous staff and smooth landing. Look forward to flying that airline again.”

Another passenger, who responded using @AlakaDebola, Debola Alaka also affirmed the commendation, maintaining: “I agree I was on it because I didn’t have a choice, from checking
in to landing I couldn’t believe a Nigerian company can be that discipline and professional. I am glad the Minister recognised it.”

For Faruk(@MrFaroukk), “Ibom Air are really trying…I was equally impressed by their overall services when I traveled from Abuja to Lagos few weeks back. Well trained staff and highly professional. They are indeed pacesetters to our local airlines.”

Other commentators further corroborated these and urged other airlines to emulate Ibom Air.
One of them Umar Maigana(@SUDMaigana) posited that “Commendations to those that deserve to be commended. Other Airlines should emulate.”
