Virgin Atlantic Clarified Reports Saying It's Leaving Nigeria

Virgin Atlantic airlines has reacted to reports saying it has sacked all its Nigerian workers and is no longer operating in the country.
The Nation newspaper had earlier reported that the airline had pulled out of Nigeria and sacked all its workers in the nation.
 Spokesperson for the airline, Kudirat Scott-Igbene denied the report, saying the airline was only realigning its operational model in Nigeria.
“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.
“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.
