The Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Umo Eno, says the state-owned airline Ibom Air conducts proper checks on all its aircraft to ensure they are in good conditions before embarking on any trip.
In a post on his X account, a former Director-General of the Bureau of Public Service Reforms, Joe Abah, had narrated how a ground engineer saved travellers including himself on an Abuja-bound Ibom Air flight from a “potential disaster”.According to Abah, the aircraft was already taxiing before a loud knock from outside by the ground engineer forced the pilot to halt the aircraft. He said the ground engineer told the pilot that he can’t leave because his landing gear was bad.
According to the governor, the Ibom Air has ordered 10 new aircraft and the first of that order has arrived and will soon resume operation after passing all the checks by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority .
