Azman Air resumed flights to Kaduna after about two-month suspension due to terrorist attack on the Kaduna International Airport.
The airline landed at the airport around noon on Monday amidst excitement from airport stakeholders, passengers and the airport authority.
The airline had suspended the flight to Kaduna on March 28 after the airport was attacked by terrorists who invaded the airport runway.
The airline said it suspended the flight to re-evaluate security at the airport.
Other airlines also halted flights after the attack where a security guard attached with the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) was killed.
A day after, the Abuja-Kaduna train was attacked with 10 people killed while 61 kidnapped victims are still in captivity.
However, respite came the way of Air passengers on the Kaduna route after one of the airline operating the route resumed flights.
Azman landed at the airport around noon on Monday with 42 passengers while some of the passengers paid over N100,000 from Abuja to Kaduna.
Daily Trust reports that Abuja-Kaduna flight is about 20 minutes but many passengers paid for a two-legged ticket which costs over N100,000 from the nation’s capital in Abuja to Kaduna.
