Ibom Air Soaring High

Akwa Ibom State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Ini Ememobong, has extolled Ibom Air for the recognition of its quality services and subsequent award of International Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) certificate by the International Air Transport Association (IATA).

According to the Commissioner, the certificate presented to Ibom Airlines Limited underscores the determination of the Airline to achieve the dream of a globally recognised airline, as envisioned by Governor Udom Emmanuel.

At the event, the Chief Operating Officer of Airline, Mr. George Uriesi, commended his management and staff for the landmark achievement in the continuous efforts towards making the airline the World Class African Regional Airline as contained in the company’s Vision Statement.

He said: “Ibom Air’s achievement of the IOSA certification at this time is in line with our continental aspirations, as we move to position our airline strongly on the African continent. Our strategy to spread our wings across Africa includes establishing multiple interline agreements and cooperation with partner airlines. Being IOSA certified is a pre-requisite for this.”

Established by IATA in 2003, IOSA uses internationally recognised quality auditing principles to assess the operational management and safety controls of airlines to certify them consistently. As a result, IOSA has become accepted as the international standard for airline safety and operational evaluation.

IOSA audit of Ibom Air was conducted in the second half of 2022, three years after the airline commenced commercial operations.
