Last week, it was reported that the Virgin Airline was
planning to stop flight operations following the sack of its Nigerian
crew about three weeks ago without any severance package regardless of
their length of service with the airline.

The airline had also in 2014 closed its Nigerian call centre and let go of all the Nigerian staff working in that department.
The communications manager explained that the primary purpose of having
locally-based cabin crew was to provide cultural expertise, but customer
feedback had shown the practice was no longer a requirement on the
Lagos route.
She added, "The additional complexity required to operate an
international crew base where there are no foreign language requirement
means it was no longer sustainable going forward.
"This announcement has no impact on our flying programme and we plan to
continue flights between Lagos and London. After 14 years flying the
route we remain committed to servicing the Nigerian people, whether be
it for business, family or education."
