Med View Airline now flys to London!

 Medview Airline, yesterday announced that she has received license from the United Kingdom (UK) and Nigerian governments to commence direct flight operations from Lagos to London.
 The other advantage is the competition on that route, which has already led to a slash in air fares as Medview charges a return ticket of N149,000 on the Lagos-London route as opposed to the existing fares charged by other airlines on their economy seats. Managing Director/ CEO of Medview Airlines, Alhaji Muneer Bankole, at a press conference in Lagos yesterday announced Friday, November 20, 2015 as the date for the airline’s inaugural flight from Lagos to London.
“We have been working round the clock to secure all the necessary approvals needed to commence flight operations between Nigeria and UK,” Bankole said.
“I am happy to tell Nigerians that the UK Civil Aviation Authority and the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) and the Foreign Affairs Ministries of the two countries have given Medview Airline all approvals required to operate direct flights between the two countries with our inaugural flight scheduled for November (Friday) 20, 2015 with a Boeing 767-300ER aircraft christened Abeke, which has a configuration of 30C/19Y seats,” he added.
Bankole said the airline’s entry into the Lagos-London route was one taken with a major aim of bringing down the cost of airfares for Nigerian passengers.
“The London-Lagos route has remained one of the busiest in the world, yet it remained the most expensive for Nigerians,” Bankole said.
