Nigerian Aviation Handling Company (Nahco aviance) is set to commission its multi-million naira warehouse at Enugu on Thursday, to boost cargo activities in the South East.

The customs bonded warehouse is expected to be the hub of cargo activities in the entire South East where goods destined to the region would be berthed and cleared before being moved into the eastern hinterland.

The Akanu Ibiam International Airport is one of the routes plied by Ethiopian Airways. The inauguration of the Nahco aviance warehouse is projected to attract more cargo flights to the airport.

He said in a statement that as part of events leading to the commissioning of the warehouse, Suleiman Yahyah, chairman, board of directors of Nahco, will lead other members of board and management to pay a courtesy call on the governor of Enugu State on Wednesday.

Yahyah and his team would also have a series of meetings with major stakeholders in the air cargo and aviation sector during the two-day event.

The company currently serves more than 35 airlines at seven airports across Nigeria, with plans to expand operations to other African countries. It handles about 70 percent of domestic and foreign airlines operating in Nigeria.
