Thursday, 6th August, 2026 Canadian, Embassy, Abuja PRESS RELEASE NIGERIA, CANADA SIGN EXPANDED AIR TRANSPORT AGREEMENT FOR DIRECT FLIGHTS, TRADES AND CONNECTIVITY In a landmark step towards strengthening bilateral aviation relations and expanding economic cooperation, the Federal Government of Nigeria and the Government of Canada have signed an expanded Air Transport Agreement that will, for the first time, permit direct scheduled air services between both countries. The Honourable Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, SAN, CON, FCIArb (UK), was represented at the signing ceremony by the Director of Air Transport Management, Federal Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr. Mohammed Ahmed Tijjani, who joined the Canadian Chief Air Negotiator for Global Affairs, Ms. Shendra Melia, at the High Commission of Canada in Abuja to formalize the historic agreement. The signing followed an extensive Nigeria–Canada Air Transport Expansion Technical Review Worksession, during which both delegations reviewed the existing Bilateral Air Services framework and reached a consensus that culminated in the signing of the Agreed Minutes. The Nigerian delegation comprised Mr. Mohammed Ahmed Tijjani, Director, Air Transport Management; Mrs. Jummai Yahaya, Esq., Director, Legal Services, Federal Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development; Mrs. Olayinka Babaoye-Iriobe, Director, Air Transport Regulation, Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), alongside other senior government officials. The Canadian delegation was led by Ms. Shendra Melia, Chief Air Negotiator for Global Affairs Canada, and included Mr. Jathorsan Lingarajan, Trade Policy Officer, Global Affairs Canada, and Mr. Steven Worth, Manager and Senior Policy Advisor, Transport Canada, among other officials. The expanded agreement marks a significant milestone in the aviation relationship between Nigeria and Canada. It introduces several important enhancements designed to improve connectivity, promote tourism, facilitate trade, and create new opportunities for airlines and businesses in both countries. Key highlights of the expanded Air Transport Agreement include: - The right for Nigeria and Canada to designate multiple airlines to operate scheduled air services between the two countries. - A capacity allowance of 14 weekly passenger flights and 10 weekly all-cargo flights for the designated airlines of each country. - The granting of Fifth Freedom Traffic Rights for all-cargo operations, allowing cargo airlines to transport freight between two foreign countries, provided the service originates or terminates in the airline's home country. The agreement is expected to significantly enhance air connectivity between Nigeria and Canada by paving the way for the commencement of direct flights, thereby reducing travel time, improving passenger convenience, lowering logistics costs, and strengthening commercial and cultural ties between both nations. The development is particularly significant given the growing people-to-people relationship between Nigeria and Canada. As of 31 March 2026, more than 25,000 Nigerians hold valid Canadian study permits, making Nigeria one of Canada's major international student source countries. The enhanced aviation framework is expected to further support educational exchanges, tourism, business travel, investment, and family reunification. The Nigeria–Canada Air Transport Agreement was originally negotiated in 2014 as a code-share-only arrangement and formally signed in March 2025. The current agreement represents the first major expansion of the bilateral air services framework since its negotiation over a decade ago. Tunde Moshood Special Adviser on Media and Communications to the Honourable Minister

Flight was "causing concern to civil authorities": Two Royal Air Force (RAF) Typhoon fighter jets were scrambled on the evening of July 24 to intercept Qatar Airways flight QR23 from Doha to Manchester after the aircraft became a cause for concern to UK civil aviation authorities upon entering British airspace. According to the RAF, a Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) was launched as a precaution. The Typhoons intercepted the Boeing 777-3DZ(ER) over the Nottingham area, although the escort was reportedly discontinued before the aircraft reached Manchester. The flight landed safely at Manchester Airport at approximately 7:45 p.m. BST, where emergency services had been placed on standby as a standard precaution. Authorities have not officially disclosed the reason for the interception. However, aviation tracking reports and industry sources suggest the incident may have been triggered by a temporary loss of radio communications between the aircraft and air traffic control, though this has not been confirmed by the RAF or Qatar Airways. The RAF said only that the flight was "causing concern to civil authorities" and confirmed that the incident was resolved without further issues, allowing the aircraft to taxi normally to its gate after landing. Civil aviation authorities are expected to review the event in coordination with Qatar Airways. #aircraft #airspace #airlines

Major European airlines including Lufthansa, Air France, and British Airways have pleaded with the authorities for urgent help. They want lower taxes, financial support, and permission to use Jet A fuel from the United States because of the jet fuel problems caused by the conflict in the Middle East. In March 2026 the carriers warned that ticket prices would go up by at least four percent even if the fighting ended before summer. The rises would be bigger if the situation dragged on. On April 10 it was announced that without a proper reopening of the Strait of Hormuz within three weeks there would be a serious fuel shortage. This would cause major damage to the economy. Airlines have already begun cutting their flight schedules. They are cancelling weaker routes, reducing frequencies, adding refuelling stops, and in some cases grounding aircraft. Jet fuel prices have more than doubled since the conflict started. Europe depends heavily on supplies that normally come through the strait. Some airlines had locked in lower fuel prices earlier through hedging. Those deals are now running out and the pressure is increasing. Passengers are facing higher fares, extra charges on long haul flights, and fewer choices overall. The situation is still tight. Even if shipping resumes through the strait, it could take months for supplies to return to normal because of damage in the region. Summer travel could see more disruption if things do not improve soon.

Southwest Airlines has confirmed that one of its flights was forced to take evasive action to avoid colliding with another flight at Nashville International Airport over the weekend. Southwest reports that while approaching BNA amid gusty wind conditions, pilots of Southwest Flight 507 executed a precautionary go-around. During that action, the pilots used instructions from air traffic control and an onboard traffic alert to avoid conflicting with Southwest Flight 1152, which was departing from another runway. Flight 507 was able to land after the go-around and Flight 1152 continued to its destination in Knoxville. “We are engaged with the FAA as part of the investigation. Southwest appreciates the professionalism of its Pilots and Flight Crews in responding to the event. Nothing is more important to Southwest than the Safety of our Customers and Employees,” the airline said in a statement. Video: Flightradar24

"Some aircraft don't just fly — they carry history with them." The aircraft in this video is a Douglas DC-6, a four-engine, piston-powered airliner built by the Douglas Aircraft Company between 1946 and 1958. Originally created for long-range commercial routes, the DC-6 soon demonstrated its versatility, serving both major airlines and the U.S. military. With a top speed of about 315 mph and a range near 2,600 miles, it stood as a technological heavyweight of its time. Even today, a few DC-6s remain in service in specialized operations—most notably with Everts Air Fuel in Alaska, where durability and dependability outweigh luxury. And that “slow-motion” look from the propellers? It’s simply a camera frame-rate illusion, giving this vintage aircraft an almost otherworldly appearance.

THE GLOBAL AVIATION MODEL JUST HIT A MISSILE Emirates suspended operations from Dubai. Etihad grounded flights from Abu Dhabi until at least March 4 according to FlightGlobal. Qatar Airways halted departures from Doha, holding cargo at hubs worldwide. PBS confirmed 2,280 flights cancelled. Fortune reported 90,000 passengers per day stranded across Gulf hubs. The Guardian counted 115,000 Australians alone affected. FreightWaves documented Qatar Airways holding 13 tons of daily cargo capacity at standstill. That was the first 72 hours. Trump told reporters the war will last approximately four to five weeks. Project the math. Ninety thousand stranded passengers per day across 35 days is 3.15 million passengers. Each requiring rebooking, accommodation, meals, and compensation under international air passenger rights. Emirates alone carried 43.6 million passengers in the twelve months before this war. Dubai International processed 92.3 million passengers in 2024, making it the busiest international airport on earth. Every single one of those routes now requires rerouting south over Saudi Arabia, adding 1 to 3 hours of flight time, burning thousands of additional gallons of jet fuel per departure, on routes that were priced for direct overfly. The fuel cost alone will restructure ticket pricing for every carrier touching the Gulf for the next quarter. But here is what the travel industry is not yet processing. The UAE intercepted 137 ballistic missiles and 209 drones according to the Hindustan Times. Breaking Defense reported 541 total drones launched at UAE territory, with 35 falling and causing material damage. Smoke was visible over Jebel Ali port on satellite imagery. The Burj Al Arab absorbed drone fragments. Iran hit Dubai’s most photographed landmark and the logistics port that handles 40% of UAE trade. Emirates, Etihad, and Qatar Airways are not ordinary airlines. These three carriers and their hub airports are the connective tissue of 21st-century global aviation. The entire long-haul routing model for East-West traffic, connecting Europe and the Americas to Asia, Africa, and Oceania, was built on a single premise: that the Persian Gulf is a permanently stable corridor. Over two decades, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Doha captured the global transit market by positioning themselves as the geographic midpoint between every major population center on earth. That geographic advantage just became a geographic liability. The midpoint between continents is also the midpoint of a war zone. Every code share agreement, every interline connection, every cargo forwarding contract written through Gulf hubs assumed zero probability of sustained airspace closure from military conflict. Insurers at Lloyd’s are recalculating war-risk premiums in real time. Cargo forwarders are scrambling to route through Istanbul, Singapore, and Addis Ababa. FreightWaves reported air freight rates already spiking before Monday markets open. Four to five weeks of closed or contested Gulf airspace does not create a disruption. It creates a structural rerouting of global aviation away from the Gulf model permanently. Airlines that spent 20 years building hub-and-spoke empires through Dubai and Doha just discovered the spoke runs through a missile corridor. The world built global connectivity through a war zone. The war just arrived.

Well this is awkward for those still denying the Mossad, 9/11 connection. The supposed 9/11 highjacker Ziad Ali-jarrah is the nephew of a known Mossad agent, Ali Al-Jarrah. Ziad’s other uncle Yousef was also an agent. And that mystery passport that survived 9/11, it supposedly belongs to Ziad. Amazing how passports can withstand bombs, thermite and jet fuel following a controlled demo. In fact Ali Jarrah said he was recruited in 1983, a year after Israel began a major invasion of Lebanon, by Israeli officers who had imprisoned him, according to investigators. He was offered regular payments in exchange for information about Palestinian militants and Syrian troop movements, they said. And that United Airlines Flight 93 that Ziad supposedly commandeered, it apparently crashed into a Pennsylvania field after it was hit by a missile fired from a US Air Force plane. When asked about this, Mark Regev, a spokesman for then disgraced Israeli pm Ehud Olmert, declined to discuss Mr. Jarrah's situation, saying, "It is not our practice to publicly talk about any such allegations in this case or in any case." Not even a denial!

After 4 years, I travelled by air with Saudia. Honestly, after my personal tragedy I was not willing for travelling or flying. But Saudia made it easier, step by step. From boarding, the crew greeted us with dates, nuts & Zamzam - that small touch of warmth matters a lot. Then came blankets, pillows, headphones… and I was amazed to find WiFi at 35,000 ft. It made the journey less heavy on my heart. Landed at Jeddah Airport and the staff were extra kind to Pakistanis. The airport felt spotless, travel-friendly, full of international brands on sale and yummy food options everywhere. I saw mostly foreigners on transit flights. Sitting so close to “Makkah”, I quietly prayed: Ya Allah, call me here for Umrah and Hajj. In Hajj season, only hujjaj can go to Makkah and Madina. My next flight to Paris was in Saudia’s big Boeing - comfortable, clean, great hospitality. I was impressed again. Riyadh Air has also launched recently. I’m a fan of Saudi Hawks and now super excited to see the new induction of planes with Riyadh Air. Wish them all the best - great to see Saudi aviation growing. Riyadh & Jeddah airports felt women-friendly and safe - that gave me so much peace of mind as a female traveler. In today’s situation, Saudia truly feels like the safest transit option compared to other Gulf airlines. I bought my own tickets - this is not a sponsored post. Just sharing for information so other people can make their travelling easier.

A deeply disturbing incident has come to light from Indore Airport, where a female passenger alleges that she was harassed and mistreated by an Air India staff member during what should have been a routine boarding process. According to her account, the staffer snatched her boarding pass, behaved aggressively, and even threatened to call security without offering any explanation for denying her boarding. Matters escalated further when he allegedly attempted to snatch her phone as she tried to record the incident for her own safety.What makes this ordeal even more alarming is that she was travelling alone at night, feeling vulnerable and shaken, yet the airport security personnel standing right beside her remained completely passive, offering no assistance or intervention as the situation unfolded. Instead of safeguarding a passenger in distress which is their primary duty the authorities stood by in silence, effectively allowing the harassment to continue unchecked.The passenger further mentioned that when she attempted to document the incident, she was subjected to even more intimidation and harassment, creating an environment of fear and helplessness. It was only because of the support extended by fellow travellers who witnessed the unacceptable behaviour firsthand that she was ultimately allowed to board the flight. The staff had no legitimate grounds to deny her boarding, and their attempt to do so appears to have been an abuse of power and position.For someone who has been a loyal Air India customer for years, this experience has left her extremely distressed, shaken, and in complete disbelief. No traveller especially a woman travelling alone should be subjected to such disrespect, aggression, or unprofessional behaviour at an airport, of all places. This incident raises serious questions about the functioning of Air India staff, the training they receive, and the accountability mechanisms within the airline. It also reflects poorly on the airport authorities, whose silence and inaction contributed to the trauma faced by the passenger. When security personnel fail to protect passengers, it signals a dangerous lapse in protocol and a lack of responsibility.Airports are supposed to be secure, professional, and safe environments. Yet incidents like this expose a disturbing reality where misconduct goes unchecked, power is misused, and authorities look the other way instead of doing their job. If this is the standard of behaviour from airline staff and security officials, it is a matter of serious concern for all passengers who travel through such airports.Strong systems, strict disciplinary action, and zero tolerance for harassment are long overdue. Incidents like this should serve as a wake-up call for both Air India and the airport authorities to fix their internal culture, protect passengers, and restore public trust. #bangalore #bengaluru #indore Airports Authority of India Air India DGCA #airindia #aviation #dgca #airlines #assault #harassment #civilaviation #indigo IndiGo Indore Commissioner Collector Indore Commissioner of Police,Indore Madhya Pradesh Police S.

💢🇸🇦🇾🇪 REPORT | Saudi Arabia and Yemen’s Ansar Allah traded fire Monday in an escalation that shatters a years-long truce, as the Saudi-led coalition aircraft struck Sanaa International Airport and the Yemeni group retaliated by launching ballistic missiles and drones at Saudi Arabia in return. 🔸Ansar Allah said Saudi warplanes hit the runway at Sanaa, Yemen’s capital, at 1:54 p.m. to close the airport to humanitarian flights carrying patients and stranded people. Yemen’s Saudi-backed government said the strike was meant to stop an Iranian Mahan Air flight from landing without Saudi authorization. The plane was eventually diverted to Hodeidah, a port on Yemen’s Red Sea coast. 🔸In response, Ansar Allah said it fired missiles and drones across the border at Abha International Airport in southwestern Saudi Arabia (see video), an operation it said “successfully achieved its objectives.” 🔸The coalition claimed its air defenses intercepted all missiles and there were no immediate reports of casualties, though explosions were reported by military monitoring accounts in the Saudi cities of Abha, near the Yemeni border, and Jeddah, on the Red Sea coast some 400 miles north. 🔸Ansar Allah warned airlines against flying over Saudi airspace until the “unjust blockade” on Sanaa is lifted, and thanked Iran for operating flights to the airport. A UN-backed ceasefire had largely frozen the conflict since the coalition intervened in 2015.

America Is Closed: The Tourists Are Going Elsewhere! While America turns visitors away, the rest of the world is having the time of its life. Europe recorded 793 million international tourists in 2025, up 6 percent on pre-pandemic levels. France alone welcomed 102 million visitors, generating a record 77.5 billion euros in tourism revenue. The tourists are out there. They have money to spend and planes to board. They are simply choosing not to spend it in America. International arrivals to the United States fell for the ninth consecutive month in January 2026, down 4.2 percent year-on-year. Global tourism spending grew by 6.7 percent in the same period. The world is traveling more than ever. It is simply choosing not to travel to America. The Canadian Collapse Canadians, historically the single largest source of foreign visitors to the United States, have stopped coming. Road trips across the border fell 30 percent in the most recent month. Air travel from Canada is down 24 percent. Airlines cut 450,000 Canada-US seats in the first quarter of 2026 alone. The projected damage from the Canadian boycott stands at 5.7 billion dollars. “In my 37 years in the travel industry, I have never seen anything like what the Canadians have pulled off,” said Amir Eylon of Longwoods International. “This is one that’s being felt, and it’s not going away quickly.” The cause is not mysterious. Trump floated annexing Canada as the 51st state while slapping punishing tariffs on Canadian exports. Something snapped. Sixty-two percent of Canadians now say US policies have made them less likely to visit. Snowbirds are canceling Florida. Some are selling their American vacation homes. Toronto-Cancun is now Mexico’s busiest international air route. Europe and Asia Turn Away Germany, France, and the United Kingdom have each updated their official travel advisories for the United States. German visits fell 11.6 percent in 2025. France lost around 950,000 visitors. One European tour operator summed it up: “Five years ago, the United States was the go-to destination. Now, many of our clients are choosing destinations that are easier and more welcoming.” China and India, the two great growth engines of global outbound tourism, both recorded steep declines in US visits. India’s drop of 15 percent in mid-2025 was the first since the early 2000s. They are simply choosing destinations where entry does not feel like an interrogation. Chinese arrivals to Europe are projected to grow 28 percent. Indian arrivals, 9 percent. What Has Actually Happened The United States did not lose its beaches or its national parks. What it lost was its reputation as a country that wants you to come. A travel ban covering 19 countries, biometric requirements on all non-citizens, widespread detention reports, and a proposed rule requiring Visa Waiver travelers to submit five years of social media history: these are the choices that produced this outcome. The World Travel and Tourism Council estimates that social media rule alone could cost 15.7 billion dollars and 150,000 American jobs. New York City lost 4 billion dollars in tourism revenue in 2025. Nevada’s hotel industry recorded a 6.7 billion dollar shortfall. The 2026 FIFA World Cup was supposed to be the redemption arc. It isn’t. Five countries have issued travel advisories warning citizens about attending games on American soil. Hotel bookings in host cities are running behind projections. The tourists are not gone. They are in Mexico, Japan, Portugal, and Spain, spending freely in places that do not require them to prove they are not a threat. Trust is slow to build and fast to lose. Right now, the United States government is doing everything in its power to signal that it does not particularly want them here. The world, it turns out, is listening. Europe 2026 looks great ☀️🍻🍾 Stay connected, Follow Gandalv Gandalv
