Interesting to see that due to the Lagos security situation, the US & UK have just closed their Embassies/High Commisions...
what security situation in Lagos exvicar, could you elaborate.... last thing I can imagine is the American or British Mission in Nigeria closed.....
Its Prime Location for their Foreign Policies
Back to more serious issues, its great to see the Aircraft for VirginNigeria up and ready to go, its about time and big applause to the VirginNigeria Team. Although I do have some issues about the joint venture agreement concerning the domestic operations, its great to see that Nigeria is about to be put back on the international Aviation Map again and in association with Virgin Atlantic, I could not ask for anyone else.
Ironically in 1997 I flew Virgin Atlantic for the first time from London to Los Angeles to complete my CFII & MEI Licenses and after the flight could not help asking myself why we in Nigeria could not operate an Airline like Virgin Atlantic, I had enjoyed the flight and continue to fly them when I can.
Hopefully VirginNigeria will make Nigeria proud and create a new path for Aviation in Nigeria (We do need it)
And by the way if the aircraft does operate a flight to New York before its inaugural flight to Lagos, well it will just give New York a taste of whats to come.
All the best and Bon Voyage...
