On the Lagos –Gatwick route ,which some stakeholders have thought would be a major challenge for the airline, Bankole said the challenges of operating Lagos-Gatwick were there but that the airline has done very well so far,as could be rated as the best Nigerian airline on the route.
He further explained that the airline was making good its promise especially on in-flight catering, as with Nigerian dishes have been introduced onboard
