National Security Adviser, to President Muhammadu Buhari, Babagana Monguno, has banned the planned helicopter shuttle service from Kaduna to Abuja by some helicopter companies.
Monguno said, in view of the closure of the airport, air travelers will be required to travel by road/train to Abuja from Kaduna International Airport.
This will undoubtedly cause constraints on the movement of some passengers who will aim to travel using other means, notably the use of commercial ferry helicopters.

Monguno added that the airspace over the Federal Capital Territory Abuja is controlled and only security flights or those with the requisite security clearance from the Presidency are granted overhead clearance for obvious security reasons.
