<\/p>\nIf you have to travel from Nigeria to destinations in Europe, America, Asia or even some parts of Africa, you may not be able to use the domestic airlines.<\/p>\n
However, there are several international\u00a0airlines in Nigeria that can take you to these places.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In this post, we have compiled a list of these international airlines and their addresses. In addition, we have provided a brief profile of some of these international airlines.<\/p>\n
Popularly called Aero, this airline is one of the oldest in West Africa. It was established over 50 years ago as an aviation service provider involved in the provision of scheduled commercial and helicopter offshore oil and gas sector operation.<\/p>\n
Aero is also an important player in the oil and gas operation in Nigeria and the company is a well-respected aviation service provider in the rotary wing (helicopter) offshore oil and gas sector plus the fixed-wing scheduled and charter passenger sector.<\/p>\n
Also, Aero is said to be one of the fastest growing Nigerian carrier passengers. With headquarters in Lagos, the company operates a combined fleet of around 20 helicopters and 15 fixed-wing aircraft ranging from 50 seat Dash 8 to 144 seat Boeing 737-400\/500, employing about 1,300 personnel.<\/p>\n
Over the years, Aero has received many accolades for scheduled operations, consistently offering the most reliable services and best value fares whilst introducing new initiatives into the local market to empower more people to fly more often.<\/p>\n
Currently, Aero Contractors has two divisions. There is the Aero Nigeria which provides scheduled fixed-wing passenger services to various Nigerian domestic airports and international destinations in the West African sub-region. And there is also the Rotary Wing which provides helicopter offshore oil and gas aviation services.<\/p>\n
The history of Arik Air can be traced to 2002 when Sir Joseph Arumemi-Ikhide (KSG, CON) decided to buy a Hawker jet aircraft. Subsequently, his colleagues and contacts in the oil and gas industry began using the Hawker jet to fly themselves around Nigeria. Another jet was acquired and not too long after, Arik Air became a popular airline in Nigeria.<\/p>\n
In 2006, Arik Air acquired the facilities of the liquidated Nigeria Airways and began public travel in October of the same year.<\/p>\n
In 2007, Arik began international travel when Arik Air International Ltd was established with its corporate office in London. By 2012, Arik had successfully flown over 10 million passengers.<\/p>\n
Currently, Arik operates an average of 120 flights every day from its two hubs in Lagos and Abuja.<\/p>\n
The airline\u2019s latest service is Arik Explorer which was launched in 2014. This service offers travel package at two levels: premium and affordable and it applies to inbound and international travel from Lagos.<\/p>\n
Also known as B.A, British Airways can be traced to the inception of civil aviation, following the World War I.<\/p>\n
The progenitor of the British Airways was the Aircraft Transport and Travel Limited which was launched in 1919. At this time, it operated a daily international scheduled air service, between London and Paris. The first flight took off from Hounslow Heath which is today known as the Heathrow Airport.<\/p>\n
Emirates Airlines flew its first routes out of Dubai in 1985 and the aviation company has grown rapidly since then, adding a number of international destinations to its itinerary.<\/p>\n
According to the TripAdvisor Travelers\u2019 Choice Awards for Airlines, Emirates is recognized as the Best Airline in the World<\/p>\n
Recently, Emirates opened Emirates Flight Training Academy which is said to be the most advanced flight training academy in the world.<\/p>\n
The airline also has a facility at the Dubai International airport which is dedicated exclusively to the secure transport of pharmaceuticals.<\/p>\n
Founded by billionaire businessman, Richard Branson, Virgin Atlantic began with a leased jumbo jet and has since grown to become the second largest long-haul airline in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n
In 2008, Virgin Atlantic operated a pioneering biofuel demonstration with Boeing and engine manufacturer GE Aviation on a 747 between London and Amsterdam. This was the world’s first flight using biofuel by a commercial airline. Virgin Atlantic has also ordered 15 of the 787-9 Dreamliners which burn around 27% less fuel per passenger than the A340-300, the aircraft it will replace in the Virgin Atlantic fleet.<\/p>\n
