LAGOS – Virgin Nigeria Airways has changed its name to Nigerian Eagle Airlines, and the new identity takes immediate effect. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2009/09/18/virgin-nigeria-airways-now-nigerian-eagle-airlines/comment-page-3/#comments |

good luck to them. |

No matter what they call it or the paint on the plane, Just like any project with the name Nigeria on it is always a non starter. Anything that is associated with eagle are eventually battered in Nigeria e.g Super eagle,flying eagle,eagle paint and so on,our leaders it is not the name that matters to us if you are reading but a change of attitude towards proper management of our resources. |

I dont know if they thought this name through. |
Re: Virgin Nigeria Airways Now Nigerian Eagle Airlines by Ibime(m): 4:24pm On Sep 18, 2009 |
The recent form of the Super Eagles does not bode well for this re-branding. |

with a name like: Nigerian Eagle Airlines, they have failed on arrival!! why cant they have simple name like. 'Eagle Air' |
Re: Virgin Nigeria Airways Now Nigerian Eagle Airlines by presido1: 4:38pm On Sep 18, 2009 |
Eagle Wings sounds better. That Nigeria on it will scare foreign travellers from boarding the flight. |

This is evidence that Nigeria is a failed state, if we have to spend 5yrs to figure out a name for the national carrier, and what is this nonsense called "Fly Nigeria Act" is that how business is run in a free market??, to force consumers to buy your product even when your services does not comply with requested services, or when it is dangerous to consumers??, why is no one talking about "employ 99% Nigeria ACT" so that the foreign workers in the oil industries can either hawk recharge cards on the street or go back to where they all came from. This fly nigeria act is insane. Why couldnt Nigeria airlines consortium come up with a marketing plan that will enable Nigerians have faith in their services and fly them e.g like what GM (General Motors) is doing "May the best car win" So instead of them to lobby the NA for a senseless act they should be working on "may the best airline win" Or "fly before you pay" or "Fly and dont pay if our service does not meet your standard" these are some of the bold step they could take to bring back confidence in consumers. |

#BrandingFAIL *smh* |
Re: Virgin Nigeria Airways Now Nigerian Eagle Airlines by Nobody: 12:00am On Sep 19, 2009 |
The eagle works for America but doesnt seem to be working for Nigeria. I'd have preferred a more innocuous name like Tipia airlines or something. Nybena or Nybend (Niger + benue) airlines Greenway/s Golden Flamingo etc etc |
Re: Virgin Nigeria Airways Now Nigerian Eagle Airlines by puskin: 12:36am On Sep 19, 2009 |
This Nigeria Eagle Airline or wateva is just another Nigerian Airways waiting 2happen. |
Re: Virgin Nigeria Airways Now Nigerian Eagle Airlines by Onlytruth(m): 4:22am On Sep 19, 2009 |
tpia.: If you knew what "Tipia" means in Igbo, you probably won't recommend that as a successful brand! I laugh in Igbo |
Re: Virgin Nigeria Airways Now Nigerian Eagle Airlines by Nobody: 5:24am On Sep 19, 2009 |
Onlytruth: it means crush, break or smash, right? well, cant help that- I still like the name and it isnt Igbo btw. If you're referring to tibia which means diviner or spiritualist, its spelt with a b, not a p. Same way pot cant be spelt bot and pick is different from bick. Tippia or Tippya might be another alternative but it doesnt quite have the same spunk. |
Re: Virgin Nigeria Airways Now Nigerian Eagle Airlines by Jakumo(m): 5:45am On Sep 19, 2009 |
The Flying Dodo would be a much better name and logo for this new low in aviation re-branding. |
Re: Virgin Nigeria Airways Now Nigerian Eagle Airlines by Onlytruth(m): 5:50am On Sep 19, 2009 |
tpia.: So if you knew the meaning, how can you risk some Igbo dudes running away from the "Tipia brand" from day one? You get courage o! |

Changing a name is good but it is not a priority compared to tackling inefficiency and corruption in that sector. |
Re: Virgin Nigeria Airways Now Nigerian Eagle Airlines by Nobody: 7:18am On Sep 19, 2009 |
^^^^^^ stop talking nonsense its all about rebranding eagle airlines - great airline , great service , great debt |

Re: Virgin Nigeria Airways Now Nigerian Eagle Airlines by rasputinn(m): 11:16am On Sep 19, 2009 |
Did they have to include eagle in the name,worse still they added Nigerian. Last time I checked,the brand; Nigeria was not doing well internationally image-wise, hence she checked into Dora Akunyili |

This is bad news. The owner of Virgin Atlantic is one of the richest men in the world. Virgin Nigeria was the closest airline to international airlines I have ever seen besides ARIK air. Just wait, you will see a decline in the services of this new airline. |
Re: Virgin Nigeria Airways Now Nigerian Eagle Airlines by kayc33(m): 12:53pm On Sep 19, 2009 |
Flying Eagles would have been better |
Re: Virgin Nigeria Airways Now Nigerian Eagle Airlines by GeorgeD1(m): 1:04pm On Sep 19, 2009 |

Re: Virgin Nigeria Airways Now Nigerian Eagle Airlines by Nobody: 1:18pm On Sep 19, 2009 |

Re: Virgin Nigeria Airways Now Nigerian Eagle Airlines by r231(m): 1:25pm On Sep 19, 2009 |
uhonmora: may be less than 10 yrs btw 5 & 6 yrs |
Re: Virgin Nigeria Airways Now Nigerian Eagle Airlines by Nobody: 1:27pm On Sep 19, 2009 |
