Well, well, well... this guys are here to stay... they seem to mean business now.

Thank God for them, maybe Nigerian Aviation would have been in the jungles by now.

Can't wait to see that bird in MMIA

I thought Uncle Richard had it in mind to buy his own oil refinery in Nigeria so he could supply his own fuel at cost.

Thumbs down The VK of Naija
Branson and fuel at cost?

VK has changed the face of aviation in this corruption ridden country.

I hope the authorities xpecially NCAA will learn from VK on keeping standards.

If VK leave Naija, the country is the one loosing. We go back to our confusion again.

The coutry aviation have been highly improved with the entrance of Vk; no denying this.
