Med-view Airline has announced that it will begin direct flight to London from Lagos Airport.
Medview is expected to join Arik Air as the only two indigenous airlines on that route.
Flight services will commence on the 20th of November, 2015. The airline will be kicking–off the

Business class cabin.

route will be a 32kg (2-piece) for economy and a 32kg (3-piece) baggage
allowance for Business class.
According to Muneer Bankole, the
airline’s Managing Director, “The Lagos-London route has remained one of
the busiest in the world yet remained the most expensive; it is against
this backdrop that Medview Airline is entering the route as a Nigerian
flag carrier to supply the missing link- capacity, reasonable fares, and
good customer care ad excellent in-flight entertainment.
“Our introductory fare on Economy is as
low as N149, 000, in addition, African/continental meals will be served
on board with a variety of music and films to compliment, the B767
aircraft has been configured in 30 Business class and 191 Economy cabin.
We are starting with four weekly flights on Sundays, Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays”, he said.
Bankole disclosed that the airline would operate from the second busiest airport in London, Gatwick.
