SAHCO BECOMES THE FIRST GROUND HANDLER TO WIN BA BRONZE, SILVER, GOLD, AND PLATINUM AWARDS.
Skyway Aviation Handling Company PLC (SAHCO) has made history by becoming the first ground handling company to win British Airways’ prestigious Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum awards in Nigeria. This remarkable achievement underscores SAHCO’s excellence in punctuality and safety performance at the Lagos station.
The Platinum Award, recently conferred upon SAHCO, recognizes its outstanding performance in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific region. SAHCO secured this award after consistently winning the bronze, silver, and gold awards in each quarter of 2024. Notably, SAHCO remains the only ground handling company to have achieved these accolades since the inception of the British Airways flights to Nigeria.
Helen O’Connor, Regional General Manager for the Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific at British Airways, commended SAHCO for its unwavering commitment to safety and operational efficiency. “The award is based on meeting or exceeding the adjusted door closure (aDC) target of 96% every month for four consecutive quarters, with no major safety events or repeat audit findings,” O’Connor stated. She further emphasized that SAHCO’s consistent excellence throughout the year is a testament to the company’s reliability and high operational standards.
In addition to this historic feat, SAHCO’s Abuja station also demonstrated outstanding performance, earning the Bronze Award in the third quarter of 2024. This landmark achievement further reinforces SAHCO’s position as a leader in the aviation ground handling industry, committed to delivering world-class services that meet and exceed international standards.
