Nigerian Authorities Sanction Airlines for Mistreatment of Passengers in 2025

In 2025, Nigerian aviation authorities sanctioned several airlines, including Qatar Airways, for mistreating passengers. Qatar Airways was fined N5 million for inhuman treatment of Nigerian passengers, including detaining a passenger's wife for 18 hours in Doha and falsely accusing cabin crew members.
