The Skyway Aviation Handling Company (SAHCO) Plc has, for the fourth consecutive time, won the British Airways Platinum Award for Punctuality and Safety performance.
The airline won the United Kingdom carrier’s topnotch award – Platinum for its excellent service delivery to the carrier in its Lagos station.
The British Airways Platinum Award for Punctuality and Safety performance is a prize instituted for the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific by the mega carrier.

Helen O’Connor, the Regional General Manager, Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific for British Airways, said that the award was based on meeting or exceeding the adjusted door closure (aDC) target of 96 per cent every month for four consecutive quarters by SAHCO, with no major safety events or repeat audit findings.
