A bilateral aviation services agreement between Trinidad & Tobago and Nigeria might allow for direct flights between the two countries, cutting the journey duration to eight hours. The agreement was signed on April 14, 2025, in the VIP Lounge of Piarco International Airport by Ministers Festus Keyamo (Aviation and Aerospace Development, Nigeria) and Rohan Sinanan (Works and Transport, Trinidad).
Sinanan said the deal had been in the works through various administrations and represented a reconnection between the two countries.

He claimed that with the current condition of world events, it could not have arrived at a better moment.
According to Keyamo, the government would start searching for airlines right now to fill the route. He urged T&T to serve as a bridge connecting the Caribbean and Africa.
According to Dr. Amery Browne, Minister of Foreign and Commercial Affairs, the deal will provide more affordable and accessible air travel at a time when the global environment has grown unstable.
