British Airways is rescheduling its flights from London Heathrow to Lagos so that they arrive in the Nigerian commercial capital before 6pm.
Travel from the international airport to Victoria Island, the city's financial centre, can take as long as four hours due to the city’s chronic traffic problem and armed robberies are common, especially during the evening.
A BA spokesman said: "British Airways will be rescheduling the arrival of BA 75 from London to 5.55pm from 9.05pm from the January 1. This is in response to concerns from its valued Nigerian customers on the late arrival time into Lagos.”
