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.

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.

“This development followed weeks of diplomatic and technical consultations aimed at restoring direct air travel between Nigeria and the UAE, further signalling the federal government’s dedication to ensuring the best possible outcomes for both Nigerian and international travellers.

 

“The resumed flight operations by Emirates and the new BASA will play a pivotal role in promoting tourism, business, and cultural exchanges between Nigeria and the UAE, as well as fostering economic growth.”
