A United Kingdom mega carrier, Virgin Atlantic Airways, has celebrated its 16th anniversary of flying between Lagos and London. Since 2001 when it started flights into Lagos, the airline said it had helped over three million customers to enjoy holidays, business trips and visit friends and family members in the UK and beyond.
The airline said in a statement on Thursday that it celebrated the milestone by surprising passengers with a birthday party at the check-in counters at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos with balloons, banners and birthday smiles. The carrier further said passengers onboard flights were treated to a birthday cake at 38 000ft above the sea level.
“Since 2001, Sir Richard Branson’s iconic airline has welcomed around three million customers on board, served up over five million glasses of bubbles at 38,000ft and played over seven million hours of entertainment,” the statement read in part. “Virgin Atlantic has been investing in Nigeria in 2017 -introducing a brand new ticket desk in Lagos earlier this year to make it easier to purchase tickets, adding Nigerian inspired dishes on board, and is set to become the first airline to offer Wi-Fi between Lagos and the UK later this summer,” it added.
