Fleet
AeroContractors (IATA: AJ, ICAO: NIG) is Nigeria's long-established carrier, founded in 1959. Based at Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos, the airline has grown to become a significant operator in West African aviation, serving business and leisure passengers across the region.
The airline operates a focused network of domestic and regional routes from its primary hub. AeroContractors maintains a modern mixed fleet comprising De Havilland Canada Dash 8 regional turboprops for shorter routes and Boeing 737 narrow-body jets for higher-capacity regional and domestic services. This combination allows the airline to serve both major cities and secondary markets efficiently across Nigeria and neighbouring countries.
With over six decades of operational history, AeroContractors continues to develop its route network and modernise its aircraft inventory. The airline is committed to connecting West African communities and supporting regional economic development through reliable air service.
