Medview Airlines, one of Nigeria‘s leading charter operator has signed an agreement with Saudi Cargo Company on airfreighting of goods between the country and Jeddah.
By this agreement, Medview has become the Saudi company’s general sales agent (GSA), with the sole responsibility of generating businesses for the Saudi Cargo Company, which is a subsidiary of Saudi Air, Saudi Arabia’s national carrier. General Manager, Medview Airlines, Mr. David Babatunde, who disclosed this on the arrival of the airline’s inaugural flight to Lagos last week, said the company was chosen by the Saudi company because of its track record in Muslim pilgrims’ airlift to Saudi Arabia.
According to him, the agreement between the two companies will enable Medview generate markets for the Saudi company in Nigeria. He said the agreement covered the airline’s flights into Lagos and Abuja, while that of Kano would be handled by a separate company.
"Medview has over 30 years experience in commercial airline’s business, we shall bring that to bear to consummate this relationship.
"By the agreement, Medview will source cargo in Nigeria for Saudi Cargo Company in Lagos and Abuja," Babatunde added.
Although officials of the Saudi company were not available for comments, Vanguard learnt that the company was delighted to start cargo operations into the country, especially against the backdrop of the huge market in Nigeria.
Babatunde noted that the company for cargo in the country by existing cargo operators would not frighten the airline, as Medview has been a major player in the country’s aviation sector.Medview Airlines played a very critical role in ensuring that the 2008 Muslim pilgrims’ airlift was a huge success.
