NAHCO seals deal with Emirates, Turkish, Virgin Atlantic airlines

The Nigerian Aviation Handling Company Plc (NAHCO Aviance) says it has sealed the extension of handling contracts with three international carriers. The company’s group managing director, Indranil Gupta, announced this in a statement on Monday. The international carriers are Emirates, Turkish and Virgin Atlantic airlines. Mr Gupta said that with the extension of handling contracts with the three international carriers, the company was set to meet its N300 billion revenue projection by 2029, as announced recently at the Facts Behind the Figures’ presentation at the Nigerian Exchange Ltd. (NGX). He said the contract extension delighted the company and its shareholders.
“For 45 years, NAHCO has been the leader in ground handling service in Nigeria and the entire West Africa region. We will continue to lead the way, satisfy our clients and delight our shareholders.
It is a promise we will keep. NAHCO will continue to invest in equipment and in training to meet our obligations to our clients and to meet our revenue target,” Mr Gupta said. Saheed Lasisi, the group executive director of NAHCO Aviance, described the contract signing as a significant development in the relationship between NAHCO and the organisations. It is a measure of the trust that the airlines have in us that they have extended our contract with them for these respective years. We are so delighted with this and will go beyond expectations in making them the most satisfied airlines operating into and out of Nigeria,” Mr Lasisi said. According to him, any airline that provides the best service will depend on the ground handler who provides the best service to keep its top-flight position. (NAN)
