Canada concludes new air transport agreements with Nigeria, Mali and Oman

Reached under Canada's Blue Sky policy, which encourages long-term, sustainable competition and the development of international air services, the first-time, code-sharing agreements will make travel to and from Nigeria, Mali and Oman easier and more convenient.

OTTAWA- The Honourable Lisa Raitt, Minister of Transport, announced new air transport agreements with Nigeria, Mali and Oman, which will allow Canadian airlines to better serve passengers travelling between Canada and these countries.

Reached under Canada’s Blue Sky policy, which encourages long-term, sustainable competition and the development of international air services, the first-time, code-sharing agreements will make travel to and from Nigeria, Mali and Oman easier and more convenient. Code-sharing occurs when an air carrier sells seats on a flight operated by another carrier, allowing it to expand its network and product offerings.

The new rights under these agreements are available for use by airlines immediately.

Quick Facts

  • Under Canada’s Blue Sky policy, the Government of Canada has concluded new or expanded air transport agreements covering more than 85 countries.
  • Over the past two years alone, Canada announced new or expanded agreements with 30 countries.

“I am pleased to announce these three new air agreements with Nigeria, Mali and Oman as they will offer more options and flexibility to Canadian travellers. These agreements demonstrate the Government of Canada’s commitment to supporting the Canadian air industry by helping it expand its access to international markets”, said Lisa Raitt.

“Our Government is working to provide Canadians businesses, including small-and-medium size enterprises, with the tools they need to expand and succeed abroad, and that includes expanded air agreements. When our businesses succeed abroad, it creates jobs and prosperity right here at home”, said Ed Fast, Minister of International Trade.
