Hadi Sirika Hadi Sirika

Several Nigerians have again scored the Akwa Ibom State-owned Airline, Ibom Air, high in safety, reliability, discipline and performance.

The latest trend of commendations came after the Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika 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 posited.

A passenger, Preye Aganaba @preyeaganaba replying the Minister 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 commendations maintaining that, “I agree 100 per cent 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 travelled from Abuja to Lagos a 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.”

In the words of Engr. Yasir Arafat Jubril, “Try Air peace, you won’t even fly till next tomorrow because it’ll be rescheduled.”

One of the commentators, @Uduboism had some requests for the airline, “I wish they’ll start the PHC(Port Harcourt) – ABJ(Abuja) route … I really want to fly with you guys @ibomairlines."
