As the Nnamdi
Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, reopens on Wednesday for air
traffic, Medview Airline on Monday released a schedule with six daily
flights to the nation’s capital.
The airline made
the announcement in a statement signed by its Chief Operating
Officer, Mr Lookman Animashaun, in Lagos.
Medview had on
March 9 diverted its flights to Kaduna following the closure of Abuja
airport for rehabilitation.
The News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) reports that the repair lasted for six weeks.
Medview said that
the resumption of commercial flight operations to Abuja airport
followed the successful rehabilitation of its runway by the Federal
Government.
According to the
airline, besides the six daily flights, its flights to Yola, Kano and
Maiduguri will be routed through Abuja, which has been the practice.
The airline said
that the closure of Abuja airport brought out the potential of Kaduna
International Airport.
It said that it
was operating a daily flight to Kaduna.
“Kaduna has a
lot of potential, hence, we decided to maintain daily presence
there,” it said.
The airline hailed
the Federal Government for extensive work to improve the Kaduna
International Airport.
