SAHCO has consistently increased its efficiency in the discharge of its operations and it’s attracting the attention of leading airlines in the country and foreign carriers.

“Having a turnaround time of 37 minutes for a B777 aircraft is not new. We have over the years increased our efficiency and performance, while our management has in the past few years continued to acquire state-of-the-art equipment for our operations.

“Also, note that this 37 minute turnaround for B777 aircraft for Ethiopian Airlines was done in a safe, speedy and efficient manner. Our staff are certified and well-trained for the job they do,”the statement read.

SAHCO, in August, awarded the prestigious British Airways’ Safety and Punctuality Award’ for its exceptional professionalism and seamless ground handling services provided to the British carrier for three consecutive quarters across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.

In a historic achievement, SAHCO enabled the Nigerian station to secure the Bronze, Silver, and Gold Awards—a first in the airline’s history. Furthermore, SAHCO’s Abuja station was honoured with the Bronze Award in the third quarter of the year.

The British Airways’ Safety and Punctuality Award was introduced as part of the airline’s efforts to recognize and celebrate its partners who consistently deliver excellent job performances.
