Why Kaduna? Instead it ought to be Minna which is just about 90mins by road from Abuja. I guess the fact that Minna airport doesn't have any fuel depots within the airport necessitated the choice for Kaduna which is about two and a half hours distance from Abuja by road. This then begs the question about the Kaduna-Abuja rail link constructed by GEJ which the APC govt has since celebrated as being completed by them but is yet to resume full operation. Does this mean that by providing free bus services for Abuja bound passengers from Kaduna airport is just another scam by the APC or is the rail line far from being commissioned as the APC claimed? Either way, I expect more airlines to use this opportunity to cut more jobs as they will not be able to relocate completely all their staff in Abuja. Finally, I expect this temporary closure of the Abuja airport to affect only schedule commercial airlines both local and international thereby ruling out the total closure of the Abuja airport to smaller charter jets and even the presidential fleet. Also, I dont see European airlines using Kaduna Airport due to security concerns as they have long since stopped operating from Kano airport (or any where else in the north). That means we should expect British Airlines, Air France and Lufthansa seizing operations into Abuja (or rather Kaduna) out of security concerns. This should lead to more job losses. 13 Likes 1 Share |

Nigerian have a long way to go.. How old is the Abuja airport that the runaway now needs repairs? It is common practice all over the world to close runways or shut down aiports fo services, but its usually due to weather. Lagos, Abuja, PH and Kano airport should have multiple runways, more than 2 for Lagos. U can't shut down a major airport as Abuja airport for that long, everything must not be Berger. Bring in big shots in the game and they will have it done in one week with a longer durability than 10yrs 9 Likes |

Re: FG To Shut Abuja Airport For 6 Weeks by icemann(m): 10:14pm On Dec 19, 2016 |
I am guessing there is more than one runway at that airport. So then i ask, are they "shutting down the airport", or shutting down runs ways( at different intervals) for rehabilitation? |

inspiredabbey: Dont bet on it. The closure is just to minimize the risk of an incidence at the airport by merely cutting down the traffic to minimize the odds of an accident. The Abuja airport will still be open to the likes of Dangote and co to fly in and out in their sleek jets. The Abuja airport will still be open to rotary wing aircrafts, the airforce and also the presidential fleet. In short the Abuja airport just upgraded its status by this closure as a VIP airport. 3 Likes |

Coolboi05: like Amaechi rail in PH? Then if so, why is the FG planning on getting buses to transport passengers by road from Kaduna to Abuja? He said arrangement had been finalised with Kaduna, adding that while the federal government will provide buses to convey the passengers to Abuja, the state government will provide security. |
