Ibom airport to begin int’l flight June 2016

Akwa Ibom Governor Udom Emmanuel has assured that international flight operations will begin at the state-owned international airport from June 2016, during the inspection of the intended runway currently being upgraded at the airport.

''As the Ibom International Airport gears up for International Flight Operations, the terminal building and other facilities are to be redesigned to accommodate the expected influx of local and international passengers,'' Emmanuel said. ''The main runway can take any kind of aircraft. It can take Airbus A380, Boeing 747 aircraft. The length of the runway can meet any category of highest grade in terms of airport development. We are building for the future.''
