Foreign Airlines Reject Kaduna Airport by hinwazaka(op): 12:55pm On Mar 06, 2017

Only one foreign airline has agreed to use the Kaduna International Airport, as the Nigerian government officially announced the closure of the Abuja International Airport on Monday.

The Minister of State for Aviation, Hadi Sirika, told journalists that so far only Ethiopian Airlines has agreed to use the Kaduna airport as an alternative.
The government said the Abuja airport will be closed beginning from 12 a.m. Wednesday.

The closure will last for six weeks to allow a comprehensive maintenance of the airport runway.

The decision to close the only airport in the federal capital has been criticised by aviation experts, and several international airlines warned they will not operate the Kaduna route.

Mr. Sirika said observations made by acting President Yemi Osinbajo who was in Kaduna Airport on Friday had been “taken care of”.
More details.

Only an insane airline will agree to use the Kaduna airport with the high level of insecurity in that state.

All this time and money they spent fixing Kaduna airport and buying shuttle busses to convey passenger from Abuja to Kaduna could have been used to set up an alternative runway in the same Abuja airport.. This is another proof that Buhari is totally myopic

I hope those bloodsucking demons are learning a thing or two.

If they like, they can upgrade the KD airport to become better than even Singapore Changi Airport, nobody would want to use it.

This na just airport wey na just to land and lift. I bet attracting FDI will be a lot more difficult.

What good is an airport when people refuse to use it?

Learn to value human life and you'll attract investors.

Nobody wants to die.

buari's APC directionless govt's insistence on kaduna airport as alternative to abuja is notin but a "political move" to inject money money n develop kaduna at d expence of oda states through d back door.
there's no justification for closing down abuja airport in d name of maintenance. none at all.

Increase your knowledge mehn! How many bicycles would you buy within the cost of a car? Does that imply you should have spent the money to buy a car instead of buying 15 bicycles as palliative?

Working on the runway got noting to do with plane landing if only the scheduled maintenance is carried out at night or just two days, no where in the world has this kind of thing hapened, the truth is that Buhari is about to be smuggled into the country through Abuja Airport within the stipulated days and the cabals don't want you to see the vegetable he has became, its as simple as that!
