British Airways, the United Kingdom carrier,has announced suspension of ticket sales in Nigeria following its inability to repatriate its trapped funds out of Nigeria.
It threatened that it may be compelled to stop flight services into Nigeria if the ongoing crisis of over $464 million trapped funds from ticket sales of combined foreign airlines operating into Nigeria is not resolved by the Federal Government.
In a business meeting with the leadership of National Association of Nigerian Travel Agencies (NANTA), the airline said that the closure of inventory was a necessary measure to mitigate increase of its trapped funds in Nigeria.
It assured that it would continue to fly into the country.
