The airline confirmed this in a notice posted on its Twitter handle.
Our correspondent learnt that the airline stopped the operation on Monday, leaving many passengers stranded at the airport due to limited flight connectivity in and out of Kaduna.
The airline said the suspension of operation to the airport was to re-evaluate security at the airport.
