NORTH AMERICAN AIRLINES TO LAUNCH SCHEDULED FLIGHTS
LINKING BALTIMORE/WASHINGTON TO LAGOS, NIGERIA
JAMAICA, N.Y. (July 12, 2007) – North American Airlines will launch three weekly scheduled flights linking Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) to Lagos, Nigeria beginning Sept. 4, 2007. This new service will operate with one stop at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport.

Customers also will appreciate our new Business Class service with all-leather seating and in-flight entertainment, including nine audio and six video channels to choose from.”
North American also serves the Baltimore/Washington area with weekly service to and from Accra, Ghana.
“We are extremely grateful for the support we have received from the Maryland Aviation Administration and the State of Maryland,” Binns said. “We look forward to providing this important link that many customers want between the Baltimore/Washington metropolitan area and Lagos.”
