Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited (BASL), the operators of Murtala Mohammed Airport Lagos Terminal Two (MMA2), have announced their intention to acquire Nigeria’s first airport digital cold storage system designed for preserving perishable cargo.
Remi Jibodu, Head of Aeronautical and Cargo Services at BASL, revealed that the new storage facility aims to address the increasing demand for preserving perishable cargo passing through Nigerian airports. He emphasized the challenges faced by airlines in carrying all perishable cargoes due to limited belly cargo space on full flights.
Jibodu highlighted the significance of the digital cold storage system for businesses looking to expand across Nigeria but are deterred by the lack of adequate storage facilities. He assured that BASL’s initiative would provide a solution to these challenges, enabling seamless cargo operations and boosting revenue opportunities for MMA2.
“We are committed to innovation, excellence, and efficiency, which have guided our operations over the 17 years we have operated as a terminal. We have pioneered several advancements in the industry and are continuing to advance our vision in Nigeria,” Jibodu stated.
He also underscored MMA2’s track record of reliability, citing uninterrupted power supply and a range of value-added services that have earned patronage from passengers over the years. Jibodu emphasized BASL’s proactive approach in meeting the evolving needs and expectations of airport users and stakeholders.
