How to Travel from London to Kaduna?

Kaduna is a key northern hub. Due to security concerns on the roads, the way you connect matters.

Option 1: The “Lagos Connection” (Safest & Recommended)

  • Step 1: Fly from London to Lagos (LOS) via British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, or Air Peace.
  • Step 2: Connect to a domestic flight from Lagos to Kaduna.
  • Domestic Airline: Rano Air is currently the most reliable operator, offering daily flights. Air Peace also services this route.
  • Why this is best: This route keeps you in the air all the way to Kaduna, completely bypassing the Abuja-Kaduna road.

Option 2: The “Abuja Connection” (Train Option)

  • Step 1: Fly from London to Abuja (ABV).
  • Step 2: Take the Abuja-Kaduna Train from Idu Station to Rigasa Station (Kaduna).
  • Warning: While the train is safer than the road, flights from Abuja to Kaduna are virtually non-existent. If you choose this route, you must arrange a secure transfer from Abuja Airport to the Train Station. We recommend Option 1 (Via Lagos) for maximum safety.

Best Airlines for the Main Journey

  • Turkish Airlines: (Via Istanbul). A favorite for Northern travelers. You can fly to Lagos with 46kg baggage and then connect to Kaduna.
  • British Airways: (Via London Heathrow). Reliable and comfortable.
  • Rano Air: (Domestic Leg). The current “Hero of Kaduna”. They have consistent schedules from Lagos, making them the lifeline for safe travel to the city.

Safety Advice

Avoid Abuja-Kaduna Road

Why Fly to Kaduna (Instead of Road/Train)?

  • Avoid the Expressway: The Abuja-Kaduna highway is notorious for security risks. GoodFlights.co.uk has a strict “No Road” advisory for this route.
  • Direct Access: Landing at Kaduna Airport (KAD) puts you close to the NDA, Naf Club, and GRA, avoiding the hassle of the Rigasa Train Station which can be crowded and chaotic.
  • Rano Air Availability: With Rano Air now operating regularly from Lagos, there is no need to take unnecessary risks. Fly safe, arrive safe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have Questions? We have Got Answers.

Are there direct flights to Kaduna from London?

No. You must connect via a Nigerian hub.

Rarely. Commercial flights between Abuja and Kaduna are very scarce due to the short distance. Most travelers flying to Kaduna connect via Lagos.

It is safer than the road, but it has faced security challenges in the past. For international travelers carrying luggage and foreign currency, we strongly recommend flying via Lagos instead.

Turkish Airlines (46kg) to Lagos is best. However, domestic airlines like Rano Air may have a 20kg limit. We can help you pay for extra bags in advance.
