Authorities of Ibom Air have alerted their customers of the possibility of cancellation of flights amid the recent delay of scheduled flights operated by the airline.
The airline’s General Manager of Marketing and Communication, Aniekan Essienette, explained the reasons for the setback in a statement on Friday.
He said the recent difficulty experienced by its customers was a result of the growing unavailability of aviation fuel.
Stressing that the airline’s operations have been greatly impacted, Essienette hinted that the delay might even lead to the cancellation of some flights.
He, however, assured their customers of Ibom Air’s commitment to addressing the situation which he described as unprecedented and disruptive to the airline’s value proposition.

According to the airline’s spokesman, the company will do everything it can to operate its flight schedule as close to 100% as possible and work to restore normalcy as soon as possible.
The setback announced by Ibom Air is the latest in the chains of challenges bedevilling the nation’s aviation industry, specifically as a result of the high cost of aviation fuel and lack of the product in some cases.
Just Wednesday, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) suspended the Air Transport Licence (ATL) and Air Operator Certificate (AOC) of Dana Air indefinitely.
The decision, according to NCAA Director-General, Captain Musa Nuhu, was made pursuant to Section 35(2), 3(b) and (4) of the Civil Aviation Act, 2006 and Part 1.3.3.3(a)(1) of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Regulations (Nig.CARs), 2015.
