Lagos Private Jet Handling: 8 FBOs and Handlers Operators Use at Murtala Muhammed International
The best FBOs in Lagos for private jets are the Luxaviation (ExecuJet) FBO and EAN Aviation, backed by a group of handling agents and the airport's two ramp handlers. Lagos Murtala Muhammed and Abuja are Africa's two busiest business aviation airports, yet full-service FBO capacity remains tight. Lagos has only a handful of true FBOs, so this list covers the eight providers private operators actually deal with there.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best FBO in Lagos for private jets?
The two dedicated FBO facilities at Lagos Murtala Muhammed International Airport are the Luxaviation (ExecuJet) FBO, which has its own hangar, apron and customs and immigration, and EAN Aviation, Nigeria's first private FBO. The right choice depends on aircraft size, hangar needs and whether you need maintenance support.
Do private jets need a landing permit for Lagos?
Yes. Foreign-registered private and charter flights into Nigeria need a landing permit from the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, and overflights need an overflight permit. Most operators arrange this through their FBO or a trip support provider, ideally several days ahead.
