The National Association of Nigeria Travel Agencies (NANTA) has denied and declare false, the news story carried by some online news platforms and other media houses that British Airways plans to withdraw services from the Nigerian route, which was also said to have been credited to the National Association of Nigeria Travel Agencies (NANTA).
In a statement released today by NANTA PRO, it states that:
"NANTA never said that British Airways gave a deadline and will stop flying to Nigeria. NANTA never issued a press statement to that effect. It is not in the purview of NANTA to issue such statement.
"The National Executive Council of NANTA went into a business meeting with British Airways, where British Airways conveyed assurance that it remains committed to servicing the needs of travel agencies in Nigeria.
"NANTA as partners to all the airlines in Nigeria has taken it as a responsibility to visit the carriers to empathise with them concerning their trapped funds and to re-affirm our commitment as trade partners.
"Aside Emirates Airlines that has made withdrawal notice public, no other airline has announced or expressed the desire to stop flying to Nigeria as far as we know," the statement added.
