The Nigerian Aviation Handling Company Plc. (NAHCO-Aviance) has again signed five-year contracts with Lufthansa and Royal Air Maroc for ground handling services.

The new contract was disclosed in a statement signed by Tayo Ajakaye, spokesman for NAHCO, on Thursday.

Mr Ajakaye said that the contract with Lufthansa, a leading European carrier, began on May 1, 2024, and would end on April 30, 2029.

He said the contract with Royal Air Maroc was comprehensive for Lagos and Abuja destinations.

The official said both contracts took effect on May 1, 2024, and would end on April 30, 2029.

The group executive director (commercial and business development) of NAHCO, Saheed Lasisi, said the contracts came when NAHCO was increasing capacity with its recent purchase of new ground support equipment.

“Lufthansa and Royal Air Maroc have made the right decision in staying with NAHCO. We just took delivery of billions of naira worth of equipment, which would be deployed to service these valued partners,” Mr Lasisi said.
