SAHCO Launches Pilot Programme for Passengers with Reduced Mobility

Skyway Aviation Handling Company (SAHCO) Plc has again demonstrated its commitment to innovation, safety, and inclusive service delivery with the acquisition of the EVAC+CHAIR emergency evacuation chairs for passengers with reduced mobility.

With this latest investment, SAHCO becomes the only aviation ground handling company in Nigeria to deploy specialised mobility equipment, further enhancing its ability to provide safe, dignified, and efficient assistance to passengers with reduced mobility.

The EVAC+CHAIR, recognised globally as the world’s leading stairway evacuation chair since 1982, is specially designed to provide a safe and comfortable means of moving passengers with reduced mobility during emergencies or when navigating stairways. Using an advanced gravity and friction control system, the chair safely ascends and descends stairs without the need for heavy lifting, reducing physical strain on operators while ensuring maximum safety and comfort for passengers.
