B.m.i. To Fly To Lagos?????
Rumours are flying round that B.M.I. are considering flying to Lagos in Nigeria. After being continually fustrated about not being allowed to fly to the states, is this the best place they can think of going with there A330's?? Can't think anyone flying between the two countries will enjoy the fantastic service that I've heard they give.

From which airport would BMI fly?
As I understand it, the UK/Nigeria bilateral only allows two carriers from each country on the London-Lagos route.
VS and BA are still on this route, no?

Nigeria
Yes - the current bilateral only allows two carriers from each side. Maybe BMi have been approached to operate for the other side.....on behalf of Nigeria Airways perhaps??
If so, I do hope they get cash up front for anything as getting the money later has always been difficult in this area.
I think I would look for other opportunities on the pond. MAN-LAX ?

Not so daft, if true.
Forget the operational and personal nightmares involved in flying to LOS, because they're not a factor in whether a route is viable. The bottom line is..............the bottom line. LOTS of money is spent and available on this pairing.
I agree with the above, tho' - cash up front and NOT Niara!
Commiserations to the crews.
Never again would be too soon for me. Character-building, though.

How about the mighty Exeter to Tajikistan run?
you saying this is for real - because Uzbekhistan Airlines were flying into Christchurch in NZ - equally barmy and probably as empty as the above (assuming it existed).
Having worked in HE in the UK, the Nigeria thing wouldn't be a bad one, especially given the number of students in the UK.
