Skyway Aviation Handling Company (SAHCO) PLC’s Port Harcourt station has recently been awarded the prestigious International Air Transport Association Safety Audit for Ground Operations (ISAGO) certification. ISAGO is a specialized aviation audit that ensures global oversight of ground handling service providers (GHSPs) by standardizing operational procedures and management practices, thereby promoting harmonization among ground handling stakeholders.
With this certification, SAHCO’s Port Harcourt International Airport station has demonstrated its commitment to operating according to ISAGO standards, aligning its operations with globally accepted industry best practices. The comprehensive audit covers areas such as Organization and Management (ORM), Aircraft Handling and Loading (HDL), Aircraft Ground Movement (AGM), and Cargo and Mail Handling (CGM).
SAHCO has pledged to provide its clients, both current and prospective, with quality and efficient Passenger, Ramp, and Cargo Handling Services in line with the highest international standards. The company utilizes state-of-the-art equipment, skilled procedures, and dedicated workforce to ensure customer delight and benefit all stakeholders.
The ISAGO certification is crucial in promoting safe ground operations and identifying high-risk areas within ground operations. By eliminating redundant audits from airlines, the audit process becomes more uniform, leading to harmonized standards that enhance the quality of Aviation Ground Handling services.
As a publicly quoted company on the Nigerian Stock Exchange, SAHCO is dedicated to delivering a range of aviation services, including Passenger Handling, Ramp Handling, Cargo Handling, Aviation Security, Premium Lounge Servicing, Crew Administration, and more.
During SAHCO’s 13th Annual General Meeting, the Chairman, Dr. Taiwo Afolabi, assured shareholders of better dividends for the current financial year ending on Dec. 31, 2023, reaffirming the company’s commitment to sustained growth and excellence in the aviation industry. The ISAGO certification further strengthens SAHCO’s position as a reliable and top-tier ground handling service provider in Nigeria and beyond.
