The Nigerian Government has grounded at least 60 private jets across major Nigerian airports as part of a crackdown on owners who have allegedly failed to pay import duties running into several billions of naira.
According to information, the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), which spearheaded the operation, said that several luxury aircraft—including Bombardier Global 6000, 6500, and 7500 series— are affected.
The clampdown has also led to the sealing of private jet hangars at Lagos and Abuja airports.
