The Association of Ground Handling Companies of Nigeria has directed its members to issue seven-day notices to two major domestic airlines, threatening to suspend ground handling services over outstanding debts that collectively account for more than 70 per cent of the total indebtedness owed to its members.
The directive followed an executive meeting of the association held on Friday, September 4, 2026, where members expressed concern over what they described as the “significant and prolonged indebtedness” owed by some domestic airlines.
This was contained in a Wednesday statement signed by the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the association, Olaniyi Adigun and Ahmed Gulmah, respectively.
If the ground handlers carry out their threat, the move could have wider implications for the normal flow of airline operations.
