Ilorin airport is too far from Lagos na. That’s not fair enough.

Akure airport should do just fine.

Ibadan is closest to Lagos na

licnsai:
When they will ban air peace totally from UK maybe their eyes will clear.

British airways need Lagos Nigeria more than air peace needs Gatwick.dont forget air peace in paying heavy tax to nigeria so d more money they make nigeria makes.
U seem to be very scared wit a slave mentality.i feel u hav never been to london thats why u dey reason this way

Festus is doing a gud job so far.make our aviation eviable to investors so more airlines would spring up like air peace n begin flying to western nations capital .

Keyamo, if you give British Airways Ilorin as you've suggested, it is still Nigerians that will suffer it.
Virtually all the states fly to Lagos but not all states fly to Ilorin. Put in another way, all airlines fly to Lagos (sometimes multiple times a day) but, not all airlines fly to Ilorin (for connecting flights) and terminal destination.


First, it is a travesty for you to compare British Airways (and its OneWorld alliance) with Airpeace and its leased planes.
Second, what other options are available?
Lastly, I stand by my initial position - Nigerians will suffer it more.

Can you compare the number of Nigerians seeking to travel to the UK against the number of Britons seeking to visit Nigeria?

So u tink it is britons dat occupu d flight from london to Lagos?smh. Oga british airways needs Lagos route.nigerians really goto london alot.uk government like collecting from us n giv us nothing in return....they are so selfish .we must all make money together

naija4life247:


Trust Keyamo nah, that Delta boy trained in Lagos go show them Pepper. He has already given a hint that Ilorin may be the new landing place for British Airways. Before Oyinbo connect flight from Ilorin to Lagos or Abuja or Port Harcourt, our Alfas for Ilorin go don use plenty of them for rituals,

Rituals ke?

Omo na wa for you o…

Why should your mind go to such..

Must he visit London before he can reason like a man?

Many guys here reasoning correctly haven’t been to London.

Santalpharay:


You don't seem to understand the game here. Same way it is hard for passengers to connect from Gatwick will be the same way it will be for passengers to connect from Ilorin. The results. Passengers coming from UK will prefer flying other Airlines that land in Lagos instead of flying British Airways that will only land in Ilorin. That means bad market for British airways. That is what Airpeace is already suffering in UK for being only able to land in Gatwick instead of Heathrow

This makes sense.

Many guys that are reasoning incorrectly havent been out of Nigeria so they dont understand or desire their country to work.
Uk is always extorting us n right now they need money badly....their economy is failing.

And you think UK will lose out if BA is stopped from landing in Naigeria? yea! Right. Lagos/ Abuja route are nothing, just a meagre route out of hundreds of routes they are running. They will not lose anything if they are restricted from Naigeria route.

Iamzik:


Yes let Nigerians suffer it. I will also expel some of their diplomats if they don't yield. We behave like weaklings that is why we are not respected anywhere in the world

Cutting your nose to spite your face is dumb! Policies are made based on interests and facts, not emotions.
When you have sufficient leverage, you can choose to flex your muscle.

My point exactly! It is Nigerians that will suffer it (to and from). If there are no more direct flights to the UK, it is Nigerians that will need to pay extra to go to nearby countries to join connecting flights.

You pay for a service and get it. Yet, you say they are not giving you anything. Understand this, British airways DOES NOT need Nigeria to continue to be successful. UAE just lifted the ban on Nigerians after two years of extensive lobbying (begging), companies are leaving your country wilfully and in droves, airlines have suspended travelling the Nigerian route without flinching etc

Nigerians need to understand their current reality and drop the stupid pride and arrogance.

My point exactly,now is the time Nigeria has leverage.British economy is in shambles rite now....how many prime Ministers hav been replaced within 10years alone?
This is a bilateral air agreement not like we are asking for something new.we both need each other rite now

BA is not doing Nigeria a favour sir.

They were charging Nigerians exploitative air fare before air peace stepped in. One of the hallmarks of a strong leader is ability to take difficult decisions. Our currency was stronger than pounds at some points if not for our useless leaders. Do you know that Nigeria sent aid to UK as some point after independence?

Stop looking down on yourself. Respect must be demanded on the international stage. If you are percieve yourself as weak you will be treated as such.

Do you know how much money out people spend in UK every year? UK needs Nigeria as much as Nigeria need UK

Owutuotuo:
Then the same will be extended to BA.

Virgin Atlantic also.

Not just BA would be restricted, but other British Airlines such as Virgin Atlantic . Even now Nigeria remains the most lucrative destination for airlines in the world so losing Nigerian routes is not something airlines want to happen.

Virgin airline are not owned by the british, it is owned by Richard Branson an English businessman, even if Virgin are restricted Virgin has more than a hundred more routes. Besides, Naigerian living abroad would suffer. Virgin only began to run Naigeria route few years ago, (that is if virgin is still running Naigeria route) so they have been flying years back to many destinations before the began Naigeria route.


Why are the Naigerian government still waiting to restrict BA? They should restrict BA already and see who would lose.

Tellmeastory:


Rituals ke?

Omo na wa for you o…

Why should your mind go to such..

Shey e no good ni? Is it not good that those that enslaved our forefathers should be used for rituals? Make dem dey land for Ilorin first, make you come see as heads go dey produce Pounds Sterling, the currency wey get surname. First-Name: POUNDS Surname: STERLING

You don't even understand business. what is the number of people travelling in these other routes that BA has? Which country's citizens travel more than Nigerians?

I don't know, you tell me the numbers. If you think you know business..

For some reason you think any company that doesn't do business with Naigeria will go burst. You need to think again. there is nothing special about Naigeria or Naigerians. The Indians and pakistani alone are enough to exceed the number of Naigerians travelling with BA and Virgin Naigerian travellers are not even up to half Ghanian travellers.


As i said, Naigerian government should ban BA already and let's see who loses. They are just making empty threats.


Lets's see how Naigerian corrupt looters who calls themselves politicians can travel abroad for their medicals and to visit their children who all live abroad.

This has nothing to do with Nigeria, it's an individual business and president Tinubu shouldn't have given that position to Keyamo who is now using it for pady-pady. I think Keyamo should be fired for even entertaining this thought. British don't want a plane that may have to be towed or need a jump in their best airport. Nigeria just can't put his integrity behind an unstable tribal bigots who are known to cut corners and lie like there's no tomorrow. Airpeace is a private business and should be treated as such. Yoruba have been more than magnanimous with the way they worked to allow their planes to enter London and land in Gatwick, a Yoruba man's airport. All we've been hearing since then is one complain after another to cover up incompetency. Who is even checking to ensure the planes being flown by these pathological liars are safe to transport human? British airways has more than pay its dues and deserves to land in the best places in Nigeria, first let airpeace work its own way to 1% of that.

COMPAQ:


Let's see if the Nigerian government has the balls to restrict BA from MMIA if they do not give us Heathrow.

Airport slots is heavy international politics though. Slots will not be kept idle for you. If your country has no airline, of course the slot will be given to someone else and they will not want to release it now .

He has no inferiority complex he just doesn't like yall style. Airpeace is a propaganda driven nonsense. Only foolish Yoruba would fly in it even for free.

Saig:

Stupeed people with inferiority complex like you are the reason Nigeria is this bad

I do agree with you on a number of points.
It is definitely reasonable to demand to be treated fairly.
However, you cant do that with abrasiveness and ultimatums when you'll eventually lose at the end if push turns to shove... that was my point.

Don't let their politics fool you, the UK economy is solid.
You cant demand to be treated fairly arrogantly by issuing threats especially when the other party is still colonizing you indirectly.
