Virgin Nigeria was the trading name of a private sector-owned flag carrier in Nigeria, which rebranded to Nigerian Eagle Airlines on the 18th September 2009, following Virgin Atlantic's decision to sell its 49% stake in Virgin Nigeria and withdraw the right to use the Virgin brand name.
When rebranding, new names considered for Virgin Nigeria were Air Nigeria and Nigerian Eagle.
Virgin Nigeria was based in Lagos, Nigeria, at Murtala Mohammed International Airport (LOS).
