About Quits Aviation Group
Established in 1999 by Dr. Sam Iwuajoku, Quits Aviation Group has grown from a single quality-inspection company into a diversified Nigerian conglomerate — active in aviation, hospitality, construction and advertisement from its home at Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
One group. Four sectors. A single standard of excellence.
Quits Aviation Group began in April 1999 as QUITS — Quality Inspection & Testing Services Ltd. Today it is a privately held conglomerate operating within the NEPZA free zone as Quits Aviation Free Zone Company, headquartered at the Quits Aviation Centre beside Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Ikeja, Lagos.
The group's subsidiaries span the full breadth of its four sectors: Executive Jets Services Limited for private jet charter, Execujet Aviation Nigeria FZE for FBO and handling, Quits Hospitality Services FZC — operator of Legend Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton — Quits Engineering & Construction, and Very Fine Product FZE in advertisement.
Across every company, the same values apply: quality, safety, excellence and ethics — delivered by teams who treat each guest, passenger and client to the highest professional standard.

Diversified expansion
Between 2016 and 2018 the group incorporated six operating companies across aviation, hospitality, construction and advertisement — a deliberately balanced portfolio under the Quits Aviation Free Zone Company.
Consistent growth
From 2019 to 2025 the Quits Terminal established itself as a leading private aviation hub in Nigeria — welcoming passengers and coordinating movements year after year.
Building responsibly for the decades ahead
The group is investing in technology and sustainability initiatives across its operations — adopting eco-friendly practices throughout the fleet and services, improving operational efficiency, and pursuing innovation that raises the standard of service without raising its footprint.
- Eco-friendly practices. Sustainable choices embedded across the fleet, terminal and hospitality operations.
- Operational efficiency. Smarter scheduling, maintenance and resource use across every division.
- Continuous innovation. Technology adopted wherever it improves safety, service and responsibility.
Strategic growth
Looking forward, Quits Aviation Group is expanding its services within West Africa and beyond — carrying the same values of quality, safety, excellence and ethics into every new market it enters.
