Med-View Airlines has inaugurated a new international route, with direct flight from Kaduna to Jedda, Saudi Arabia.
The Managing Director of the airline, Munir Bankole, inaugurated the flight on Sunday night in Kaduna with 166 passengers on board.
Bankole said the airline introduced the flight for the benefit of families travelling to Saudi Arabia for Ummra (Lesser Hajj) as well as those travelling for their businesses.
Bankole said he started his career in Kaduna and he owed it a responsibility to bring back some benefits to share with people of the state.
During the inaugural flight, the Chief Of Staff to Governor Nasiru el-Rufai, Balarabe Sa’id, commended the airline for having confidence in Kaduna state government and the people.
Sa’id said the state government had invested more than N3 billion to upgrade facilities at the Kaduna international airport.
