Nigeria and the State of Israel in Jerusalem on Monday signed a Bilateral Air Services Agreement (BASA) to pave way for direct flights between them.
The agreement was singed on behalf of Nigeria by the Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs, Prof. Viola Onwuliri, representing President Goodluck Jonathan.
The agreement is expected to pave way for direct flights between both countries on the principle of reciprocity by the designated airlines of both countries.
Before now, Nigerians travelling to Israel, including Christian pilgrims, stopped over in neighbouring countries before being finally transported to their destination.
