XEJET Airlines Faces Service Withdrawal Over N300m Debt

XEJET Airlines is currently experiencing significant operational challenges as aviation ground handling companies have ceased their services over an alleged outstanding debt of approximately N300 million. The Aviation Ground Handlers Association (AGHAN) issued a directive on September 28, 2026, instructing its members to stop providing services to XEJET, citing the airline's failure to honor previous repayment arrangements.

Despite several attempts by ground handling companies to recover the owed amounts for services rendered, XEJET reportedly did not comply with the agreed terms. The withdrawal of services has already impacted XEJET's operations, with reports indicating that some passengers' checked luggage had to be transferred to another domestic airline.

AGHAN's leadership, including President Olaniyi Adigun and Vice President Bashir Ahmed, noted that other indebted airlines had submitted repayment plans and made payments, unlike XEJET. The association warned that similar actions could be taken against other indebted airlines if they do not meet their obligations.

Services will remain suspended until XEJET resolves its debts or reaches a repayment agreement.
