Virgin Nigeria

   


The Nigerian Government and Virgin Atlantic Airways signed on 28 September 2004 an agreement to establish a new airline for Nigeria, to be called Virgin Nigeria.

The new airline will have its home base at Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos and will be opening routes as quickly as possible to many destinations. These will include domestic routes such as Abuja, Kano and Port Harcourt; regional routes such as Abidjan, Accra and Dakar; and also international destinations such as the Middle East, the USA and Europe.

Virgin Nigeria will start operations once all necessary approvals and authorisations have been obtained. It is expected that seats will go on sale early in 2005 and flights will commence a few weeks later.
