The Nigerian Aviation Handling Company Plc (NAHCO Aviance) has bolstered its portfolio by signing multi-year ground handling agreements with five airlines, including newcomer Enugu Air, Royal Air Maroc, Kenya Airways, Dornier Aviation, and Cronos Airlines. The deals, spanning passenger and cargo operations across key Nigerian airports, underscore NAHCO’s dominance in the sector, leveraging over 46 years of expertise. Enugu Air, a prospective domestic carrier, has entrusted NAHCO with its nationwide passenger handling for five years, joining Royal Air Maroc, which expanded its existing partnership to include cargo freighter and warehousing services in Lagos and Abuja through 2029. Kenya Airways renewed its five-year contract, covering current and potential future passenger and cargo operations, while Dornier Aviation secured a three-year deal for passenger services in Lagos, Port Harcourt, Abuja, and Osubi.
