Kaduna State Government on Wednesday signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Quorum Aviation Ltd, QAL, to operate air shuttle services to Abuja and Lagos.

According to the MoU, the company would run at least five shuttle flights daily under the trade name BOKU AIR.

Governor Nasiru El-Rufai said after the signing ceremony that it was an expression of the company’s confidence in the government.

He believed that the air shuttle service would complement the Kaduna-Abuja rail service.

“I am very confident that it will be viable, hence, I am calling on all the people in Kaduna State, particularly businessmen and women that are interested in transacting businesses in Abuja to take advantage of this service which began from road transport, to rail and now air transport.

“We thank QAL for exploring this opportunity and taking up this challenge. We are handing over our terminal building which we constructed and equipped at our own cost,” he said.

The Managing Director, QAL, Lukman Lawal, said company would deploy two 50-seater business jets to provide a minimum of five daily shuttle passenger services at an affordable price specifically between Abuja, Kaduna and Lagos.

Lawal said the air shuttle service will be a great complement to the train service currently running between Kaduna and Abuja.

He stated that Kaduna government is leasing the lounge at the Kaduna airport to the company for a period of ten years.

“To enable QAL renovate and fix the terminal to meet regulatory requirements before commencement of the shuttle services, the lease shall take effect three months after its execution”.

Okay
So, Kidnapping has technically been defeated

Government plans are always in favor of big men....poor men are at mercy of God

That means commuters plying Abuja - Kaduna highghway are now on their own... At the mercy of Fulani herdsmen....

What a shithole

Who else remembers this simple trick of government anytime they want to hike petrol price?

They first make it scarce such that citizens themselves will yearn for the increase in price under groaning conditions.

Congratulations to the business man and the Kaduna government.

Boko air?

The common man keeps suffering

This man always in the news for good reasons.

And the road users are condemned to easy pickings by fulani bandits and BH members? What a shame! He should have started using public road transport the same way he put on that political show of enrolling a child in public school, rubbish!

How many can afford the fare

Very unfortunate, that route is notorious for kidnapping, I am shocked the Governor is looking for alternative instead of providing security for the road users and make the road safe for all.
