Travelling to Sokoto? It is a long journey, and safety is paramount. Good Flights offers the most secure and efficient flight options from Birmingham Airport (BHX) to Sadiq Abubakar III International Airport (SKO).

We strongly advise our clients to avoid the long road journeys from Abuja or Kano. By booking a seamless flight connection, you bypass the risks entirely, landing safely in the historic city of Sokoto. Start your journey in the Midlands and arrive with peace of mind.

Why Choose Birmingham (BHX) to Sokoto?

  • The Only Safe Option: The road network to Sokoto from other major cities is long and can be insecure. Flying the final leg is universally recommended as the safest, fastest, and most comfortable way to travel.
  • Midlands Convenience: Depart from Birmingham (BHX). Save time and money by avoiding the trek to London Heathrow.
  • The Abuja Hub: We prioritize itineraries that connect via Abuja (Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport). This offers the smoothest transit, as Abuja has the most frequent daily connections to Sokoto.
  • Religious & Cultural Travel: Whether you are visiting for the Eid festivals or paying homage to the Sultanate, we understand the specific needs of families and pilgrims travelling this route.

How the Route Works

Sokoto is best accessed via a seamless connection in Abuja. We handle the logistics of linking these two stages for you.

  1. Stage 1: Birmingham to Abuja Fly with a major international carrier like Turkish Airlines (via Istanbul), Air France (via Paris), or Lufthansa (via Frankfurt) directly into Abuja (ABV).
  2. Stage 2: The Connection to Sokoto Transfer to a reliable domestic flight, typically with Max Air or Air Peace. This flight takes approximately 1 hour.

Top Airline Combinations:

  • Turkish Airlines + Max Air (Excellent baggage allowance).
  • Air France + Air Peace (Reliable schedule).
  • British Airways (via Heathrow) + Arik Air (If you prefer a direct flight to Abuja first).
