MedView Airline debunks EU ban rumour, operates Lagos-London flight

MEDVIEW Airline Sunday operated its scheduled
flight to London Gatwick Airport, thus ending
the alleged European Union, EU, restriction
affecting its UK operations.


The Boeing 747 aircraft jetted out of the
Murtala Mohammed International Airport Ikeja
with about 240 passengers.


The Airline Chief Operating Officer/ Accountable
Manager, Engineer Lookman Animashaun said
after the flight departed that; “Our Lagos-
London operation is not in anyway been
hampered”.


He also said; “Medview Airline has stabilized
the fares on the route to the extent that other
airlines that exploited Nigerians on the London
route had to fall in line otherwise passengers
will avoid them”.


Recall that last week Wednesday, Med-View
Airline was allegedly banned from entering
Europe airspace.


While reacting to the ban Mr. Isiaq Na’Allah,
Executive Director, Business Development, Med-
View Airline Plc, said the B767 aircraft which
the EU – European Air Safety Commission,
EASA, used as the basis for the restriction was
withdrawn from service five months ago.
