Overland Airways Relocate To Kaduna Airport

Overland Airways has concluded plans to move its operations at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja to the Kaduna International Airport following the directive by the Federal Government for airlines flying to the Abuja Airport to relocate their operations to Kaduna Airport to allow for the repair of the Abuja Airport runway.
 
The Federal Government recently announced that the Abuja Airport will be closed for six weeks from March 8 to April 19, 2017, for repairs on the runway; though the projected period to complete the comprehensive rehabilitation work at the Abuja Airport is about six months.
 
Meanwhile, Overland Airways assures its customers and the general public of safe, comfortable and efficient flight operations to and from the Kaduna Airport while the Abuja runway repair lasts.

Overland Airways assures our esteemed customer of our commitment to continue to deliver the highest standard of safety, comfort and reliability, as we continue to support economic activities within this period.”
 
“Everybody will be affected in one way or another. But it is comforting that the repair of the Abuja runway is for the greater good of air travelers and airlines. We should be patient and supportive within this period.”
 
Chief Operating Officer of Overland Airways, Mrs. Aanu Benson said: “Our priority is to ensure that businesses activities are not disrupted for our customers because of the diversion of flights from Abuja to Kaduna. We shall be working closely with government and keep our customers well informed.”
