NIGERIA AND JAMAICA MOVE TO FINALISE BILATERAL AIR SERVICES AGREEMENT.

Nigeria and Jamaica are taking steps to strengthen their bilateral aviation ties as both countries move towards concluding and signing a revised Bilateral Air Services Agreement, BASA.

This followed a meeting between Nigeria’s Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, and Jamaica’s High Commissioner to Nigeria, Lincoln Downer which centred on finalising the agreement in order to improve air travel, enhance connectivity and promote greater cooperation between the two countries in the aviation sector.

In a statement issued by Special Adviser on Media and Communications to the Minister, Tunde Moshood, the ministry said the agreement had undergone extensive legal and technical reviews by officials from both countries, with documentation nearing completion ahead of its formal signing.

The ministry added that both countries were working to agree on a convenient date for the formal endorsement, which is tentatively expected to take place in Kingston, Jamaica, either in the last week of November or the first week of December 2026.
