Abuja Airport Temporarily Shut Down

The Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, has been temporarily shut to air traffic by the Nigeria Airspace Management Agency following the blockade of the runway by a Saudi Airline Cargo, which landed around 9pm yesterday evening. Shortly after landing the plane developed a minor problem and has remained on the runway.

NAMA however issued a notice to Airmen this morning of a temporary closure of the airport. Efforts are being made to remove the faulty plane from the runway.
