Flights to Lagos on Virgin Nigeria

Virgin’s Australian venture was called Virgin Blue and adapted the airline livery accordingly. Virgin Nigeria has refrained from being Virgin Green but the customary Virgin Atlantic livery has been adapted to include masses of the same shade of green as the Nigerian national flag.

With only a 49% share of the company you shouldn’t be surprised if the on-board service isn’t 100% Virgin Atlantic, but with an experienced management team running things and good mid-morning times from Gatwick plus a relaxed night flight home, Virgin Nigeria are a great way to get between London and Lagos.
