Kaduna airport reopens for flight operations — two months after attack
The Kaduna airport has resumed flight operations two months after it was attacked by gunmen, forcing it to shut down.
Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria and Azman Air confirmed the development on Monday.
Acting General Manager, Corporate Affairs at FAAN, Faithful Hope-Ivbaze, said that flight operations commenced on Monday.
“Flight operations to Kaduna airport have commenced today with Azman Air,” she said.
Gunmen attacked the airport and killed a security guard in March.
They were, however, repelled by security operatives.
On its official Twitter account, Azman Air announced the resumption of flights to the Kaduna airport, making it the first airline to resume operations on the route since the incident.
The airline had halted flight operations into Kaduna following the attack.
“Azman Air landed at Kaduna Airport today 23rd May, 2022, to the elation and cheers of passengers, stakeholders, and staff,” Azman Air tweeted.
“It was a defining moment for the aviation community as the airport is reopened after being closed for two months. It’s so exciting to be back!”
