The Kaduna Airport remodelling project would be completed in three months, according to the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN).

The airport, which was among the first 11 airports scheduled for remodelling under the transformation agenda of the Federal Government, has undergone significant changes recently, the agency said.

At the last inspection by the General Manager, Corporate Communications of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, Yakubu Dati, it was revealed the project had reached 80 per cent of completion.

"This is part of aviation master plan which includes the upgrade and development of dilapidated infrastructures, reformation of institutions, as well as the transformation of key airports into a network of domestic and international hubs," Dati explained.

Meanwhile, operations at the airport has been shifted to the Hajj terminal, which was built under the administration of the Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah and was inaugurated in December, 2011 pending the completion of construction at the airport.

Dati said on completion, the airport would form a major hub with the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano, a development he noted would help to boost the economy of the state as well as increase the nation's Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
