Nigeria route remains our biggest business hub in Africa – British Airways

British Airways has reaffirmed its commitment to the Nigerian aviation market as it said that the country route remains its biggest business hub in Africa.

The airline, in a statement, debunked reports that it was planning to stop operations to Nigeria over its $100 million trapped in the country.

It stated that publication in the media that it had concluded plans to exit the country was untrue, stressing that it never issued any statement to the media indicating such.

The airline said it has a long history in Nigeria as it began operations in the country 80 years ago as Imperial Airways. It maintained that Nigeria remains a strategic market for the airline, adding that its operations locally are very strong.

“We have not issued any statements at any time indicating that we are on the verge of terminating operations in the country. We will continue daily operations into Nigeria,” the airline said.
