Nigeria’s leading ground handling services provider, nahco aviance, has taken over the running of the Osubi Airport in Warri, Delta State. The airport is owned by the Shoreline Group.

The Company which is implementing the letters of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with the Shoreline Group recently, would provide ground handling services at the Osubi Airport.
The deal gives the firm exclusive right for ground handling services at the airport including Pax, ramp, and cargo operation (RFS for now).

Presently, some carriers operating in Osubi include Aero, Arik, and Escravos (operated by Aero).
The Memorandum of Understanding provided for nahco aviance to negotiate separate agreements with the other operators using the Airport.

Expressing his delight over the new deal, the Chief Commercial Officer of the Company, Mr. Seyi Adewale said that there had been relatively good successes through Public-Private Partnership (PPP) and FGN’s concessionaire initiatives in the Aviation Sub-sector is a good example.

According to him, “Airports within the country now have opportunities for new capital (investments) to improve airport infrastructure and also improve the overall airport architecture that helps facilitate excellent Passenger experience within our borders.
