Allied Air

Allied Air is a Nigerian cargo airline and logistics provider headquartered at Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos. The company operates as a scheduled and charter freighter specialist, functioning as a mid-tier carrier within the West African regional supply chain. It serves as a primary link for air freight between Nigeria and global hubs, facilitating the movement of general cargo, perishables, and industrial equipment for multinational logistics firms and government agencies. The airline's fleet is centred on Boeing 737 freighter conversions, including the 737-400F and 737-800F variants. It maintains a significant long-term partnership with DHL Express, serving as a key contractor for their regional feeder network in West Africa. Allied Air is notably an IATA member and has historically secured IOSA (IATA Operational Safety Audit) certification, positioning itself as a compliant partner for international aerospace and courier organisations requiring heavy-lift or palletised distribution in the region. Prospective partners should verify the current air operator certificate status and specific airframes assigned to active routes. Prospective buyers should confirm the airline's ground handling arrangements at specific secondary African airports and its current compliance standing with international safety oversight bodies. Assessment of their technical maintenance arrangements for the Boeing classic and NG freighter series is advised to ensure long-term scheduling reliability.
