The Nigerian Aviation Handling Company Plc, (nahco aviance) recently commissioned another batch of Ground Support Equipment (GSE) to enhance its operations.
The Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, Dr. Seinde Fadeni, who spoke at the launch of the equipment, reiterated the plan of the Board to ensure that the company would own all the equipment it needs by 2026.
Fadeni disclosed that the process for acquiring the new equipment started last year, but the Company had to endure delivery delays while the manufacturer finishes producing and shipping to Nigeria.
He stated, “The essence of these equipment is not just for the company alone or for the customers, it is also to make life easier for the workers. I can confirm to you that we have a lot in our cap, and we’re bringing them out one by one.”
The Chief Operating Officer of the Company, Didier Stuellet, commended the Board for the investment, while the Head, GSE, Charles Karinga noted that not many ground handling service providers in the region could acquire so many equipment at the same time.
“Buying this number of high loaders at this same time is not something that is normally done by many handlers in this clime because they are very expensive. This is the first time this would be happening,” Karinga stated.
