NAHCO Plc and Ethiopian Airlines have equally signed a new contract for the provision of warehousing services for the Airline’s Lagos operations.

Confirming the development, Head, Corporate Communications at NAHCO Plc, Samuel Akinrinmade in a statement made available to African Business Travel News (ABTN) today, said: “In addition, the Company has also won the Qatar Airways’ Freighter and warehousing contracts for Kano and Port Harcourt. It will be recalled that NAHCO, which handles most of the foreign airlines operating in the country, had recently announced the signing of Qatar Airways handling for Kano and Port Harcourt.
