The Association of Ground Handling Companies of Nigeria (AGHAN) has warned it will suspend ground handling services for two major domestic airlines over unpaid debts. The companies owe a total of more than 70% of the debts they owe the association's members. The directive was given after a meeting of the association on September 4, 2026, where members expressed concern about the "significant and prolonged indebtedness" owed by some airlines.
If the ground handlers go through with their threat, it could disrupt the normal flow of airline operations, which is crucial for the aviation industry in Nigeria. AGHAN has given the airlines seven days to pay 75% of their debts, with the remaining 25% to be settled through a repayment plan within 90 days. The affected airlines have not been named, but the suspension could have wide-ranging implications for the aviation sector in Nigeria.
