Seems to have kicked up a bit of a stink with at lease one person (comments!)

The West African carrier, which is 49 per cent owned by Virgin Atlantic, has been told to move from the international terminal at Lagos airport to the more chaotic domestic terminal. Virgin is seeking an injunction against the order, which it claims breaches a contract signed with the Government in 2005. The carrier will argue that it needs to be at the international terminal to connect with Virgin’s services to London.

I can see VS showing Nigeria the proverbial if they do get kicked out. Not a good sign for the future.

TBH, A lot of African airlines are banned from flying into the EU due to their non-existent safety standards so i don't know what Robert Mugabe Thuthukile Mkhize is on about.

Some minister probably wants his brown envelope. One nation that I am so glad I don't have to deal with. VS have borne a lot of startup costs in Nigeria though....
