Nigeria and Canada have signed an expanded Air Transport Agreement that will, for the first time, permit direct scheduled air services between the two countries. The signing followed an extensive Nigeria–Canada Air Transport Expansion Technical Review Worksession, during which both delegations reviewed the existing Bilateral Air Services framework and reached a consensus that culminated in the signing of the Agreed Minutes. The agreement is expected to significantly improve air connectivity by paving the way for direct flights between Nigeria and Canada. The Nigeria–Canada Air Transport Agreement was originally negotiated in 2014 as a code-share-only arrangement and was formally signed in March 2025. The latest agreement represents the first major expansion of the bilateral air services framework since its initial negotiation more than a decade ago.
