Red face VK's stopped Bni-LG service too

Their late morning Benin-Lagos service is subject to what staff say is a temporary, technical suspension. Dismissed by some as attempts to put a brave face on things, such marks a sharp contrast with the inspiration drawn from recent ops by the factory-new EMB 190. Cost cutting should help, as Associated get away with fares some 30% lower than VK did. Different models and brands and markets then, you'd suppose? With spending due for items like the E-jets, any easy way out for the airline looks remote to the average Joe who's watching, as we are, from the outside in
