BEVERLY HILLS, May 18, (THEWILL) – There was something unique about Ibom Air’s Flight QI 104 departing for Lagos from Uyo at exactly 4.15pm on Monday, 17th May 2021.
It was the airline’s 10,000th operated flight since it made its debut in the country’s skylines as ‘Ibom Airlines” in June 2019.
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-to-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 thing in their goodie-bags as a way of the airline saying a special THANK YOU.
The CEO 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.
“This is an honor we do not take for granted,” he said.
