IBOM AIR CLEARS THE AIR ON ITS CONCEPTION
The attention of IBOM AIR has been drawn to statements circulating in the public space about the airline having been the vision of parties that are completely unrelated to the airline’s founding.
We are constrained to state the facts lest the general public be misled by the purveyor of such patent falsehood.
We wish to state emphatically and unequivocally that IBOM AIR was founded upon the direct vision and creative thoughts of His Excellency, Governor Udom Emmanuel who had approved the Business Plan for execution in 2016.
Upon his approval of the Business Plan, it took about two years of painstaking and thorough work by a team of first class aviation industry professionals to put the start-up requirements together and almost another year of careful preparation, before the airline commenced operations on 7 June, 2019.
IBOM AIR notes that even though there were some loud naysayers at the beginning, the impressive success of the airline has continued to convert those naysayers.
The airline is pleased that all Akwa Ibomites have now taken jealous ownership of it, to the extent that even some who had nothing to do with its founding and who, we may add, have no known aviation bonafides, are now claiming that it was their idea.
Indeed IBOM AIR is happy to be owned by all Akwa Ibomites and all Nigerians too. The general public is hereby advised to dismiss and discountenance such falsehood as peddled by the individual.
Signed,
Management.
Ibom Airlines Limited
