The Communications Coordinator of the airline says they would have been happy to fly the Nigerian Women Basketball team, The Tigress to and from Dakar, Senegal in the just concluded 20th Africa Nations Championship won by the women national team of Mali but that the Nigeria Basketball Federation, NBBF, did not respond well in what the airline demanded but were happy that in spite of the shortcoming the federation still deem it fit to fly the reputable airline.

Ogbogoro said Virgin Nigeria Airways will continue to play its leading role as a first class airline in Nigeria.
