Flight operations resume at Kaduna airport
After months of suspension due to security threats, flight operations have resumed at the Kaduna International Airport.
The airport was shut in March 2022 after a terrorist attack.
Airport manager Adamu Sheikh disclosed this in an interview with journalists in Kaduna on Wednesday.
According to Mr Shiekh, the arrival of Air Peace ERJ-145, which touched down at the airport at 5:10 p.m. on Monday, marked the resumption of flights to the route.
The official, who said more airlines were set to commence operations, assured that adequate security had been put in place for aircraft landing and take-off.
Also speaking, Fatima Ndayako, Air Peace Kaduna Station Manager, said the airline returned to the Kaduna route due to persistent customer requests.
However, she assured the airline would have a daily operation of Kaduna-Lagos.
Passengers expressed happiness over the resumption of flights at Kaduna airport.
They urged the government and other relevant agencies to ensure the airport remained functional.
