Virgin Atlantic Airways has announced that it will
be discontinuing with the services of Nigerian based cabin crew in its
operations. Reacting to unconfirmed reports that the airline was withdrawing its
services from Nigeria, its Nigerian Sales Agent, Chief John Adebanjo; "We have
decided that we will no longer have crew based in Lagos. This is by no means a reflection on our
Lagos-based cabin crew.
The primary purpose of our locally based cabin crew has
been to provide cultural expertise and customer feedback has shown us that this
is no longer a requirement on the Lagos route”.
He further stated; ‘’The additional complexity
required to operate an international crew base where there are no foreign
language requirement means it is no longer sustainable going forward.
This announcement has no impact on our flying
programme and we plan to continue flights between Lagos and London. ‘’After 14
years of flying the route, we remain committed to servicing the Nigeria people,
whether it be for business, family or education.’’
