What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Senate rejected calls for the revival of Air Nigeria and Nigeria Airways. Instead, the Senate urged the Federal Government to renegotiate the Bilateral Air Services agreement (BASA) with China to allow Nigerian airlines to operate direct flights to the Asian country. The Senate also asked the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs to initiate diplomatic talks with China regarding business visa facilitation and reciprocal slot allocations for Nigerian traders.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The Senate's push to review existing aviation arrangements addresses an imbalance in flight operations between Nigeria and China. Allowing Nigerian carriers reciprocal access to China could improve market opportunities and deepen the trade relationship between the two nations.
