The Uganda Airlines’ Airbus Maiden Flight to MMIA, Lagos
The Skyway Aviation Handling Company (SAHCO) PLC, has won the contract to
providing Passenger, Baggage, and Ramp Handling services to Uganda Airlines at the
Murtala Muhammed International Airport, MMIA, Lagos.
Uganda Airlines which is the flag carrier of the Republic of Uganda would be flying
from Entebbe International Airport in Uganda thrice a week to Lagos, Nigeria. The
airline that is rated at the top of the list of the youngest fleets of the world airlines is
also known as the Uganda National Airlines Company.
Mr. Patrick Ziwa, the Ugandan Country Manager said concerning the partnership
between SAHCO and Uganda Airlines that they are happy and blessed to be in
Nigeria starting from the 19th of October, 2023. He went on to say that Uganda
Airlines is excited about working with SAHCO, partnering with SAHCO, and also
supporting SAHCO during this novel journey.
SAHCO has been able to attract and retain the confidence of both her existing airlines
and new airlines due to the seamless, safe, and speedy service delivery that SAHCO
is known for.
Recall that SAHCO is the only Aviation Ground Handling company that is present
in all the commercially operated airports in Nigeria. In recent times, many foreign
airlines have moved their aviation ground handling operations to SAHCO so as to
enjoy being handled by a loyal and dedicated workforce who are well-trained and
whose integrity is undoubted, delivering their premium services in line with global best
practices.
Also, SAHCO has invested in modern aviation ground support equipment (GSE)
which operate on alternative power sources and are rugged to enable effective
maneuvering in the Nigerian terrain.
These GSEs are also equipped with the technology to guarantee zero carbon emissions to uphold the commitment of SAHCO to protecting the environment. Among these is the first ever Cool Dollies which are used to convey temperature-sensitive shipments from the aircraft to the warehouse thus preventing
the shipments from being denatured.
IBOM JOINS THE LIST LIST OF CLIENTELE

SAHCO to handle her regional flights starting with the Lagos to Accra route which
also commenced on 17th October 2023, by providing Passenger handling services, Baggage handling services, Ramp handling services, Cargo handling services, and Premium Lounge services.
Despite operating in a challenging industry, SAHCO ensures that the focus is to at all times deliver operational excellence which has helped in the handling of an array of aviation clients that enjoyed customer-specific services that are unique to them. This has enabled SAHCO to be the leading player in the Nigerian aviation landscape.
