The Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja is now shutdown for traffic. For the next 6 weeks all traffic will be moved to the Kaduna Airport.

The police, Customs and Immigration officials were also on ground to provide the necessary security checks to ensure safety of passengers and their luggage.

While many of the foreign airlines have indicated that they are not ready to operate to Kaduna because of huge logistics, Ethiopian Airline has landed at the airport to resume international flight operations.

The Deputy Inspector General of Police in charge of operations, Joshak Habila was on ground to monitor the exercise.

Meanwhile, the Federal Road Safety Corps has designated three out posts along the Kaduna -Abuja highway and near the airport for emergency situation.

While, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), says it had licensed over 200 taxis and buses to operate shuttle services from the Kaduna International Airport beginning from Wednesday.
