Governor Owelle Rochas Okorocha accompanied by the State Executive Council and residents were at the Sam Mbakwe Cargo Airport yesterday to celebrate the acquisition of Imo state owned flight, Imo Air.
At the Inauguration, Governor Okorocha said,
“This is a happy moment in the State. The aim of going into the Air business is because I want to drive traffic to Imo State as Imo is genuinely becoming the fastest developing City outside Abuja and Lagos. For this, there is need for more airlines to cushion the effects of high traffic coming to the State”.
He continued, “The International Cargo Airport will soon kick-start to supplement the efforts of Imo Air. In our pursuit of making Imo better, Imo International Cargo Airport will soon commence operations. Work is going on smoothly and by April God’s willing the fastest International Cargo Plane will arrive Imo State. This, we believe will help drive up commercial activities in the State. Imo is a hub for business and there is no better place to invest now in Nigeria than Imo State as inspite of the recession the State is still flourishing and progressing because of its visionary leadership.”
Though the wave of recession is seriously blowing through out the nation, imo state he said is immuned hence the ability to undertake such venture. Furthermore, Indigenes of Imo State are expected tp enjoy benefits such as 10% discounts for boarding the plane and 30% employment by the airline.
The DANA AIR Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Mbanuzuo Obi, while remarking on the Partnership between DANA AIR and Imo Air said, “The partnership between DANA and the good people of Imo State will create employment and better working relationship for the State. Imo AIR is in safe hands and the choice of DANA AIR for the partnership is an excellent choice as DANA AIR is registered with International Air Transport Association operations and security treasuring.”
