Sequel to the armoured car scandal and further leakage on infomation of the refusal of the minister of aviation to allow several airlines to land in kano and abuja, the FG has hurriedly approved for turkish airline to land in kano and Abuja 9 months after application. The approval was back dated.

The minister hurriedly sign the approval to appease some power blogs mainly from the north inorder to ease the call for her sack before jetting out to israel.

It was reliably gathered that, emirates,qatar,turkish and ethiopian airline have all applied for the kano route but were denied and instead were given the option of Enugu or PH airport, however all the airline refused but only ethiopian heeded by starting the Enugu route.

That will signal the death of enugu airport, they should also grant Ethiopia airline, etihad airline, emirate airway and qatariAirway who wish to land in mallam aminu kano international airport d right to land were ever they want. Ethiopia airline will prefer to land in kano airport rather than enugu.

The Enugu International airport and surrounding politics is the source of her problems. You just proved it

What is wrong with us in this country? Why not simply insist the airlines spread their business so that depending on where the passengers wish to go, airlines CAN use all airports! The tenets and principles of demand and supply will determine the best (and thus most sought after) destinations

Nigerians are difficult people.You Aboki cried and beg for those Airline to be approved in your states.Its now been granted and now this headline.You are all bunch of ingrates.

The Ultimate question remains - Why would airlines not want to come Enugu is it not a profitable route.

We can begin to piece things together as to why the minister is being attacked. It is obvious the inflated car cost is being used as a guise by her detractors.

The minister on her part hasn't covered herself in glory.

Despite being the best aviation minister in recent times her position is now untenable. She'd have to do more than just approving airline take offs to stand a chance of retaining her job.

All the same, She must be made to pay for her misdemeanour.

No foreigner or even Nigerian will risk his/her life on that route if Ethiopian Airline is allowed to fly to Kano. Have you forgotten the high rate of kidnapping, robbery, child and adult molestation, cyber crime and other social vices in that land of the fading sun? I prefer to fly to Kano than to die in the hands of ibos in enugu. PH is still my route, no need to go to enugu airport where I will be robbed.

The hatred in ur bad blood will send u to ur early grave. Oya say amen to that fooooooool.

You will die in the hands of Boko haram blowing up ur plane in Kano.
Besides we don't need u near enugu airport. Kano is just perfect for U mumu.

Contrary to your assumptions and not so pleasant "pull them down" desires
The reality is below

Ethiopian airline will start using boeing 767 300er for Enugu flight starting from the 13th of November.

Boeing 767 300er have more seating capacity than the one they are currently using(737 800) for Enugu route. It looks like passenger traffic has increased on the ETH - ENU route.

Is it right for her to kill kano airport by blocking all those airline who wish land in MAIA. Just to increase traffic at enugu. Let her give ehtiopian airline and the rest landing permit, why would somebody from Qatar, dubai, lebanon denied landing in kano and you want him to land in enugu before coming to kano? That is wickedness.
Thank god dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has spoken. You better advice her if she want to sleep well.

U want planes to be landing there with the security issues on ground.

Good

We would not be having this argument if Nigeria has an international Airline. The way foreign airlines compete is that they fly from the choice airport in their home countries and force competitors to unpopular airports.We need a Nigerian Airline. I deliberately avoid the phrase "National Carrier"

Kwankwaso United 2 - South East 0 .

Who has noticed how Kwankwaso complains and GEJ catches flu

Its funny how at the heart of so many of these events is politics and "backyard agenda". Thanks for linking the travails of oduah to kwankwaso and a section of parties with interests. I hope kwankwaso isn't using public funds to pay the likes fani-kayode and others to write their gibberish.

I don't have details of any embargo by oduah on kano airport. Maybe you can help me with this information.

is dis ur talent or u destiny

The solution to all this bickering is to have Nigerian Airways back.

If GEJ should do that it will really increase his credibilty even as I don't like him.

What does it take to have Nigeria Airways back ? After all aeroplanes are not bought cash down but on credit or instalmental payment.

If Nigerian Airways is resuscitated it will fly from all airports in Nigeria and when travelling abroad. You connect from any airport

But here is our clueless government playing politics with airlines they don't own.

There cow brain never touch

How the Nigerian brain works,I just don't get it. So an SE/SS businessman or traveler will board a plane from kano, instead of Enugu? Some of you are simply too pathetic. Open all Airports to all international airlines, let's see which of them will close their routes in 90days.

malele:

You people will soon learn in the hard way again. Thank god for kwankwaso and turkish airway, Hopefully the house of rep will order the landing of the remain once. Then ehtiopian airway will have to compete with better airline fly to kano or enugu.

This woman must be an Iron lady to survive all these attacks from all direction. If I may ask, is it the same Oduah that is currently in Isreal that signed? According to all these peppersoup joint gossip, Kwankwaso complained yesterday and Oduah signed today, I wonder where the people that believe this kept their brain.

It is you who is being pathetic!! Airlines are in it for profits, they have all indicated they want kano instead of enugu!! The minister is forcing them to land in enugu which clearly shows that enugu is not viable!
You don't need to be a rocket scientist to know that!!

Keep quite shameless people, who ask her to go and buy 255million naira car or inflate the price? Heartless woman, tell the difference between her and boko-haram? Arm robbers nemesis is catching up with her now, you are looking for who to call a bad name. All we are saying is she should allow the airline to land where ever they won't. who care about her car scandal.
