Nigeria, Colombia Discuss Plans to Begin Direct Flights Operations

Colombia’s Vice-President, Francia Márquez, says talks have been held with Nigerian aviation stakeholders on the possibility of launching direct flights between both countries as part of efforts to strengthen bilateral ties.

According to a statement by Bayo Onanuga, presidential adviser on information and strategy, Márquez disclosed this during her visit to the State House in Abuja on Monday, where she was received by President Bola Tinubu.

Her visit coincided with the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on political consultations between both nations. The agreement was formalised during the Nigeria-Colombia bilateral meeting and business forum in Abuja by Nigeria’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Yusuf Tuggar, and Colombia’s Deputy Minister for Multilateral Affairs, Mauricio Jaramillo Jassir.

Márquez said aviation was one of the priority areas for deepening cooperation, noting that the move would enhance long-term relations built on shared culture and heritage.

“We have had a meeting with business leaders in aviation on the need to start direct flights to Colombia,” she stated.

She further assured that Nigeria-Colombia relations would bring mutual benefits, especially in advancing social justice, gender equality, and inclusivity.
