The visit was to finalise negotiations ahead of the resumption of Emirates Airlines’ flight operations to Nigeria.

LEADERSHIP Weekend gathered that the meeting also sets the foundation for a new Bilateral Air Service Agreement (BASA) between both nations to ensure stronger and mutually beneficial aviation ties.

In a statement by the special adviser, Media and Communications to the minister, Tunde Moshood, was accompanied by his technical team who engaged in constructive discussions with UAE aviation authorities.

According to the statement, the aim of the meeting was to ensure smooth reintroduction of Emirates Airlines into the Nigerian airspace, on Tuesday.

The new BASA, which was a focal point of the talks, is designed to enhance collaboration between the two countries and establish guidelines for their evolving relationship in the aviation sector.

Crucially, the negotiations also yielded a significant agreement on reciprocal rights, ensuring that Nigerian airlines will soon have the opportunity to commence direct flight operations to the UAE.

This marks a historic development for Nigeria’s aviation industry, expanding international connectivity and offering more options to travellers between the two nations.

The minister said, “today’s discussions reaffirm our commitment to fostering a balanced and forward-looking partnership with the UAE. We are pleased to have secured reciprocal operational rights for Nigerian airlines, which will not only deepen our bilateral ties but also strengthen the global competitiveness of Nigeria’s aviation industry. As Emirates returns to Nigeria, we look forward to a thriving and mutually beneficial air service relationship.
