Seven Ibom Air engineers achieve professional upgrade

IBOM Air has celebrated a milestone in its technical operations, with the professional advancement of seven of its licenced aircraft engineers, reaffirming the airline’s commitment to developing indigenous aviation talent and strengthening its maintenance capabilities.

The engineers were honoured at a ceremony recognising their successful professional upgrades, a development the airline described as another step in building a world-class technical workforce to support its expanding operations.

Those recognised are: Itohowo Umoh, Daniel Thompson, Emediong Nsima Umoh, Chrisking Uduak Ekeng, Emediong Cosmas, Wisdom Udoigwe and Inyeneobong Essien.

According to the airline, the achievement underscores its continued investment in human capital and technical excellence as it expands its footprint across Nigeria and the West African sub-region.

Ibom Air said the development reflects its strategy of nurturing homegrown professionals while ensuring its engineering personnel attain and maintain globally recognised standards required for modern airline operations.
