Aviation fuel: Ibom air pull out of planned Monday stop of normal operations 

May 8, 2022

By Editor

Ibom Airlines Limited (Ibom Air) has pulled out of the Monday planned flight cessation.

Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) had on Friday issued a notice of stop of operations as from Monday to press home their concern over the increasing price of aviation fuel. 

But Ibom Air said such action would be unjustifiable to clients who had paid for their services.

Besides, the airline said airlines volunteering to stop operations would rather exacerbate an already bad situation.

The airline therefore said in a statement on Saturday that it will continue normal operations on Monday 09 May 2022 and beyond.

The statement titled “Public statement on flights Cessation on Monday 09 May 2022” reads, “Ibom Airlines Limited (Ibom Air) has been inundated with inquiries about what will happen on Monday 09 May, 2022, following the public statement issued by the Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) Executive, on Friday 06 May, 2022 and it has become necessary for us to make the following clarifications:

“Ibom Air acknowledges the existential threat that these runaway fuel price increases pose for the air transport industry in Nigeria. We agree that this out-of-control situation is simply unsustainable. However, every airline has its unique business model and pressures. We believe that in spite of the escalating fuel prices, airlines volunteering to stop operations would rather exacerbate an already bad situation.

“Ibom Air has financial obligations to suppliers, financiers and staff, which depend on uninterrupted flow of revenue to service. More importantly is the fact that having been paid by customers in advance for flight bookings we are bound by contract to deliver the services already paid for, to avoid exposing the airline to the risk of avoidable litigation.

“Apart from the above factors, Ibom Air is currently the only airline serving Akwa Ibom State directly and as such, any voluntary stoppage of operations would completely cut off access by air into and out of the State. Such action would be directly in conflict with and detrimental to the interest of our shareholder.

“In view of the foregoing facts, Ibom Air had respectfully disagreed with the decision of AON to suspend flight operations on Monday 09 May 2022. Ibom Air cannot in the circumstance volunteer to stop operating and will continue normal operations on Monday 09 May 2022 and beyond. Ibom Air’s inclusion as “signatory” to the statement released by AON must have derived from its active and committed membership of the AON”.

The airline however identified “very strongly with our AON colleagues and will participate in every effort to resolve this frightening situation as soon as possible in the interest of our business, our customers, our stakeholders and our country.”
