About Us - Where we were
IAS Cargo Airlines pioneered cargo handling and freight business in Nigeria in 1971. It remained essentially a British concern with headquarters in London until 1974 when the Nigeria joint venture was formed.

Later in 1980, the company became fully indigenous and the business areas were broadened to once again pioneer organized express delivery service in the country. IAS Cargo Airlines therefore, became the fore-runner of IAS International Express with head office in Maryland, Lagos.

Between 1992 and 1994, IAS represented FedEx of USA in Nigeria, providing FedEx with its first needed link to Nigeria, the most populous black nation. IAS was able to test its capability to serve the international users and the period marked its turning point. At the end of the short romance with FedEx, the company broadened its scope and began a five-year plan to launch itself big into the international markets.

In June 1999, IAS became affiliated to TNT International Express, Europe's largest Express, Mail and Logistics Company, and one of the biggest, worldwide. This association, which produced TNT/IAS Express, launched the company back into reckoning internationally. Today, IAS has become a driving force in the Express/Logistics and the Mail sub- sector.

It is a worthy tribute that despite the founder's death three years after he incorporated the company, his pioneering efforts and enterprising spirit remains the company's foundational heritage. The feat of sustaining its growth through continuous improvement and investment is a success mark on the path of the Board of Directors ably chaired by Chief Josiah Chiedozie Okoye since 1983.
