Sorry about that. You'd have to stick to your previous plan.

Shameful.
Before now, there was no direct flight between Nigeria and the US.

This is long overdue.

Next we need an indigenous airline flying direct to America.

what are you saying? No direct flight from Nigeria to the US? WRONG! United was flying to Houston, Delta to Atalanta and Arik to NewYork... now Delta is gonna be flying the NewYork route...comprendre ?

Bros, read the article well na. They are already serving the Lagos-Atlanta route 4 times a week. Abi you nor sabi in say Atlanta dey for US?

They have started already, about two weeks running

Not true, even the above article indicates that...there is a Delta direct flight between Atlanta & Lagos. Most people, especially from the East Coast in the US despise that flight, because you have to travel backwards (westward) to Atlanta, do a stopover before the plane will travel Eastward towards Nigeria, as a result most East Coast travelers prefer going through London or Europe.

The NYC - Nigeria direct flight is a welcome development, it will represent a major competition between European Carriers and Delta for East Coast travelers, though am not completely sold as American carriers' services are not at par with their European, Asian or even Arab counterparts.

Delta doesn't hold a candle to Ethiopian, let alone Emirates or Etihad. US airlines, most of the time, treat passengers like cattle. There are few/non-existent amenities, even on international flights.

The proposed national carrier would provide competition to the likes of Delta and the mega European carriers on the intercontinental routes.

Correct
