The Manager Communications and marketing Aniekan Essienette who made the disclosure in a statement made available to journalists in Uyo on Wednesday said the replacement became necessary to give room for the maintenance of the A220 aircraft.
She added that Egyptair Livery was readily made for a substitute in order not to disappoint the customers as well as maintain the airline’s acclaimed in-flight services with minimal schedule disruption. “Ibom Air would like to inform our customers and the general public, that one of our recently wet-leased Airbus A220 aircraft has had to undergo maintenance for an anticipated period of two weeks.
“To avoid disappointing our passengers and because at Ibom Air, we take our commitment to our customers most seriously, we have immediately brought in a replacement aircraft from Egyptair. As a result, our passengers and well-wishers will notice an Airbus A220 draped in Egyptair livery, operating flights for Ibom Air over the next couple of weeks. Please note that this aircraft is standing in until our wet-leased Airbus A220 returns to service.
