Nigeria, Russia move to replace 59-year-old aviation deal

Nigeria and Russia have begun discussions to replace their 59-year-old Bilateral Air Services Agreement with a new framework to strengthen aviation cooperation and expand air transport connectivity between the two nations. The decision was made during a meeting at the sidelines of the Third Russia-Africa Summit in Moscow, with the aim of renegotiating the existing agreement, which was signed in 1967, and establishing a new one that reflects contemporary developments and emerging opportunities in international aviation.

Both countries have formed separate negotiating teams to conclude negotiations within six months and sign the new agreement in Saint Petersburg, Russia, in April 2027.
