Domestic Flights to Kaduna From Manchester
How to Travel from Manchester to Kaduna?
Kaduna is a major hub in Northern Nigeria. To reach there from the UK, you have two main transit options. We strongly recommend Option 1 for maximum safety.
Option 1: The Safe Route via Lagos (Recommended)
- Step 1: Fly from Manchester to Lagos (LOS) via Turkish Airlines, Lufthansa, or Virgin Atlantic.
- Step 2: Connect to a domestic flight from Lagos directly to Kaduna.
- Why this is best: This route ensures you fly all the way to Kaduna. You completely avoid the security risks associated with road travel from Abuja.
- Domestic Airlines: Air Peace and Azman Air operate regular flights from Lagos to Kaduna.
Option 2: The “Abuja Route” (Via Train)
- Step 1: Fly from Manchester to Abuja (ABV) via British Airways or Lufthansa.
- Step 2: Take the Abuja-Kaduna Train from Idu Station to Rigasa Station (approx. 2 hours).
Note: While the train is safer than the road, tickets can be hard to get. Flying via Lagos is often smoother.
Best Airlines for the Main Journey
- Turkish Airlines: (Via Istanbul). A top choice for Northern travelers. Their baggage allowance (2x 23kg) is excellent, and they fly into Lagos daily, connecting you easily to domestic carriers.
- Lufthansa: (Via Frankfurt). Offers the fastest travel time to Nigeria.
- British Airways: (Via London). Good if you plan to stop in Abuja, but remember you will need to arrange train transport to Kaduna.

Have Questions? We have Got Answers.
Are there direct international flights to Kaduna?
No, Kaduna is a domestic hub for most passenger traffic. You must connect via Lagos or Abuja.
Is it better to fly to Abuja or Lagos for Kaduna?
We recommend flying to Lagos. From Lagos, you can take a domestic flight straight to Kaduna. If you fly to Abuja, flights to Kaduna are very rare, and you may be forced to take the train or road.

The train is safer than the road, but tickets are in high demand and often sell out quickly. Flying into Kaduna via Lagos removes this stress entirely.
