to continue 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.
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.

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.

Handling services, Ramp Handling services, Cargo Handling services and Warehousing to
