As part of its commitment to drive and strengthen its relationship with its partners, United Kingdom’s mega carrier, British Airways, recently organised a three day getaway trip to London for its top travel agents.

Six agents from across Nigeria were selected to go on the trip. They had the opportunity to experience first-hand the Super High J which was recently relaunched into the Lagos route, pay visit to the British Airways Head Office and Heritage House as well as go on a tour of Terminal 5 Departures Landside, Check-in area, First Wing, Cabin Crew Report (CRC), Airport Centre and Airside Gates, First class lounge and others.

Kola Olayinka, British Airways Regional Commercial Manager for West Africa, remarked that the trip was put together to show gratitude to the agents for their contribution to the airline’s business growth, “It is always good to give honour where honour is due. We have an amazing team, internally and externally who continuously contribute to the growth of the airline.” He went on to state, “It was also great to know the Super High J exceeded expectations. It was one of the highlights of the trip.”

Among the selected agents were, Joy Idehen, Assistant Manager, Corporate Desk Qantum Travels Limited, Suleiman Ibrahim, Managing Director, Ibbsa Travels and Tours, Alkali Habib, Managing Director, Hinterland Travels and Tours, Temitayo Shittu, Airline Relationship Manager, Travel Start, Ene Ogunnoiki, Business Development Manager, Travelbeta, and Victoria Nwaimo, Leisure Travel  Manager, Bon voyage Travel.
