Simple, for those who desired to use helicopter shuttle can land at nearby town then take road which will be less than twenty minutes drive.. I supported the decision we have no adequate gadget to monitor our aerial security

I'm disappointed in you based on the comment you just made, considering your moniker. Only wonder where your "sage travels" will carry people to. I can't trust your judgment

three:
The National Security Adviser, Babagana Munguno, has banned the planned helicopter shuttle service from Kaduna to Abuja by some helicopter companies.

In a memo banning the move, Munguno said, “In view of the closure of the airport, air travelers will be required to travel by road/train to Abuja from Kaduna International Airport. This will undoubtedly cause constraints on the movement of some passengers who will aim to travel using other means, notably the use of commercial ferry helicopters.

“Please be reminded that the airspace over the Federal Capital Territory Abuja is controlled and only security flights or those with the requisite security clearance from the Presidency are granted overhead clearance for obvious security reasons. Consequently, you are to note and ensure that no charter or commercial helicopter ferry flights are allowed to fly within Abuja airspace.”

In a country with limited aerial defence capacity, it is a wise move.

Don't be angry at the wealthy as That's a sign you will always be poor.

If you were worth N300m, you also would be looking for a faster and more convenient way to get to Abuja from Kaduna. Time is the most valuable asset to the extremely wealthy.

That is life.

good let everybody suffer it. imagine some people have registered with Bristow, if the fly from Lagos to Minna they will use there chopper to Abuja.

You are entitled to your opinion but I'll simply put it this way, I will stand for anything that will bridge the gap between the rich and the poor.


Those that wasted there lives along that route are not animals while the government is doing little or nothing to improve the infrastructures that is beneficial to the common man.

But shuttle from Abuja to Daura remains.

The ban does not affect President Mamman Daura certainly.

I dont have any problem with this policy if this is for security reasons. But i will ask a question why didnt PMB set the example by using train or road?

Its not fair, why are they hell bent on frustrating air travel in naija?

Helicopters are portable flight vehicles, you can even land one in your house if you have the space to accommodate it.

Nice move but the sad thing is that our youths won't take their time to analyse the move before calling PMB and his administration names.

The truth is, for security reasons things can't just fly over Abuja airspace as it is the seat of power and it houses the president and the country's representatives.

Nice move once again

My brother it does not make sense. Abuja is not 1cm in Length or Breadth. There is no excuse for this absurd policy because as expansive as the land is, Government could have given Chopper Pilots coordinates that would take their route far away from Aso Rock and other sensitive buildings.

Even in Washington DC, Commercial Chatter Helicopters still fly so please don't support this senseless directive.
