The Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) and the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) say the Kaduna International Airport is now set for international operations.

The Managing Director of FAAN, Mr Saleh Dunoma, in Abuja, said that the organisation has installed all safety equipment needed for the operation.

Similarly, Mr Fola Akinkuotu, Managing Director of NAMA, said that once the Abuja Airport is closed, NAMA would deploy the mobile tower from the airport to Kaduna to complement what is 

already on ground.

He said that NAMA management has certified the capability of Kaduna Airport, adding that its engineers have done a good job on it.

The Minister of State, Aviation, Sen. Hadi Sirika, announced the use of the Kaduna airport as an alternative for the Abuja airport that would be closed for six weeks for repairs of its runway.
