Nigeria, June 13 -- The Aviation Ground Handlers Association of Nigeria (AGHAN) has lifted its suspension on services to Max Air, less than 24 hours after halting operations over unpaid debts.

The association said the decision followed progress in discussions with the airline, including the payment of a "substantial amount" of money out of its outstanding obligations to handling companies.
