Ibom Air begins domestic operations at new Uyo international terminal

Ibom Air has officially launched its domestic flight operations from the newly inaugurated international terminal at Victor Attah International Airport in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. The airline announced that this transition took effect on Sunday, marking a significant milestone for both Ibom Air and the aviation sector in the state.

CEO George Uriesi stated that the commencement of domestic operations from the new terminal underscores the airline's dedication to providing passengers with a seamless, safe, and world-class travel experience. This operational shift means that passengers on Ibom Air's domestic routes will now utilize the international terminal instead of the previous domestic facility. The new terminal features expanded passenger handling capacity and upgraded amenities, including modern check-in areas, boarding facilities, and enhanced security infrastructure, all designed to accommodate growing passenger volumes and improve the overall travel experience.

Today marks another defining moment in the evolution of Ibom Air and the aviation sector in Akwa Ibom State.

The move aligns with efforts by airports nationwide to manage increasing passenger traffic and meet the demand for improved infrastructure. According to the airline, the facility is expected to boost operational efficiency and support Akwa Ibom State's aviation ambitions. The state government has made substantial investments in aviation infrastructure, including airport expansion projects and support for Ibom Air, which began operations in 2019 and has become a leading Nigerian carrier known for its passenger traffic and on-time performance.

Passengers traveling through Uyo are advised to arrive early for their flights and familiarize themselves with the new terminal layout. Ibom Air has implemented measures to ensure a smooth transition with minimal disruption to scheduled flights. The commencement of domestic operations at the new terminal is anticipated to further stimulate activity at the airport and contribute to broader efforts to enhance air transport connectivity in Nigeria's South-South region.
