Skyway Aviation Handling Company (SAHCO) Plc has renewed ground handling contract to provide aviation ground handling services for British Airways (BA) at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport Ikeja in Lagos and the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja for the next five years.
A statement issued on Thursday by Head, Corporate Communications, SAHCO, Mrs Adetola Vanessa Uansohia explained that SAHCO started providing Ground Handling Services to British Airways in 2020 when BA moved her ground handling contract to SAHCO after operating into Nigeria for over 40 years.
“They saw the need to transfer their Ground Handling contract to SAHCO due to the unrivalled services that SAHCO Provides.
“The decision to renew the contract for the next five years was taken by British Airways after the Airline did their due diligence through rigorous audits from their international team for all the Ground Handling companies in Nigeria and still found SAHCO to be the best”.
According to the contract, SAHCO would be providing Passenger Handling Services, Baggage Handling services, Ramp Handling services, Cargo Handling services and Warehousing to British Airways at both the International Airports at Lagos and Abuja.
