Fast rising serial entrepreneur, Ifeanyi Obike is all set to join Allen Onyema of Air Peace, Professor Obiorah Okonkwo of United Nigeria Airline and a few others as a Nigerian air operator with the introduction of his airline business, Obike Air.
Taking a cue from Okonkwo whose operational base is in Abuja, Obike hopes to take advantage of the Anambra International Cargo Airport and site his business in the state. He hopes that by this move, he will activate and jumpstart commercial and international markets accessibility in South Eastern Nigeria.
Obike Air was reportedly billed to take off in 2021 but the airline industry was heavily impacted by COVID-19 pandemic. After re-strategizing, Ifeanyi plans for the airline to be an international airline with global best practices. The airline has also been tipped to fly the 747 and 787 airliners.
In his 40s, Ifeanyi is the founder and chairman of the board of Obike Group which has investments across different industries like food, real estate, transportation, education and many more.
A philanthropist, he is also the Chairman of Ifeanyi Obike Foundation.
