Only Ethiopian airline to fly to Kaduna airport
The Nigerian federal govt said Monday that tight security has been put in place on Kaduna highway, a few hours to the closure of Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja for runway repair. It added that there will be heavy security presence in every 5 kilometres along the route. But despite the assurance, only Ethiopian airline has agreed to fly to Kaduna. Two other airlines – Turkish Airways and Lufthansa – are yet to decide if they would fly the route during the 6-week closure. The govt said talks are ongoing with the 2 airlines and their stance would be made public soon. Govt officials confirmed the closing, saying: “We are going ahead with the closure of the airport as announced and it will be done by midnight of March 8.” <br/>
