Welcome to Aviation Business Limited
Aviation Business Limited, fondly refered to as ABL, was established in July 2000.
Our thinking and eventual formation were shaped by, firstly, in-depth knowledge of our local logistics industry. Secondly, identifying a specific void in the marketplace. Thirdly, obtaining favourable feedback from key importers whose views we solicited. Lastly, the profit motive.
Consequently, we balanced our enthusiasm with facts and achievable estimates and embarked upon strategic cargo and risk management initiatives. This included converting a vacated passenger terminal into a game changing cargo warehouse.
Interestingly, though our name and emblem symbolise that aviation is our core business; given increased customer demand, our cyclical industry and the prospect of new incomes, we readily embraced seamless cold chain and ocean LCL cargo handling.
ABL continues to be an innovative facilitator in the supply chain, and more importantly, we are committed to giving customers what they need; as opposed to what we assume they need.
It is noteworthy that during 2018 ABL handled 1,629 flights and 6,412 tonnes of cargo.
