August 18, (THEWILL) –Â The management of Ibom Airlines says it would be expanding the coverage of Ibom Air routes to include some states in the Northern part of Nigeria.
Chief Operating Officer of Ibom Air, Mr George Oresi, stated this on Wednesday in Uyo during an interactive session with some correspondents.
According to him, the airline would expand its routes to include: Yenagoa, Owerri, Benin, Kano and Yola.
Oresi noted that Ibom Air currently covers six destinations, saying that the company’s target is to expand to the routes by 2022.
He said: “The next place we are working at is the North -Kano potentially, Yola potentially. But by the end of next year, we would have covered all these places we are talking about.
“We just started Port Harcourt in July, maybe before the end of the year, we will do one more.”
Oresi said though Ibom Air plans to begin an international flight soon, it will first consolidate on its gains and successes, saying by first quarter of 2022, the airline will venture into regional flight.
The COO said the company would not rest on its oars regarding its business model or take other airlines for granted, saying its philosophy about competition is that there is room for everybody to operate and thrive.
He explained that despite its partnership with Dana Air, the company would do all to maintain its schedule reliability, on-time performance and excellent services, adding that its goal is to be a world class airline.
