SAHCO acquires special chairs for passengers with reduced mobility
As part of deliberate corporate efforts to meet the needs of its stratified passengers and improve inclusivity in service delivery, Nigeria’s leading indigenous aviation handling company, Skyway Aviation Handling Company (SAHCO) Plc, has announced the acquisition and deployment of specialised emergency evacuation chairs to provide comfortable and dignified movement for passengers with reduced mobility.
In a statement, the company said it was the first and only aviation handling firm to provide the EVAC+CHAIR emergency evacuation chairs in the country, 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.
With secure harnesses, durable rubber track systems and ergonomic design, the equipment enables trained personnel to safely assist passengers who are unable to move independently, making aircraft boarding, disembarkation and emergency evacuation more efficient and seamless.
