Maiduguri Airport to re-open 18 months after being shut due to Boko Haram attacks


Good and great news as the Maiduguri International Airport is set to be re-opened after being closed 18 months ago due to Boko Haram attacks. This was disclosed on Tuesday, June 9, 2015, by the Deputy Governor of Borno State, Zannah Mustapha.

Zannah also said that the Federal Government had approved the re-opening of the airport for commercial activities.
“It is interesting to announce that the Chief of Air Staff, Air Vice Marshal Adesola Amosu, has confirmed to me that the Federal Government had issued a directive for the re-opening of the Maiduguri International Airport for commercial activities,” Zannah said while speaking to journalists.
“In fact, the Chief of Air Staff told me that the Nigerian Air Space Management Agency, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, and the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, were already directed to work out modalities for the resumption of flight operations in the airport,” he added.
