The Managing Director
and Chief Executive Officer of SAHCO, Basil Agboarumi, said, “SAHCO’s choice as
the preferred ground handling company for full Ethiopian Airlines’ operations
at the cargo ramp in Lagos is due to its pedigree and brilliant track record
over the years.
“SAHCO has been providing cargo services and warehousing for
Ethiopian Airlines for quite a while now and we have displayed a high level of
professionalism according to global best practices. This has instilled the
trust and confidence which has influenced their decision to move their ground

Ethiopian Airlines, customers were assured of speedy, safe, and seamless ramp
and cargo movements as they do business with the airline.
