Canada and Côte d’Ivoire have expanded their bilateral air transport agreement to increase passenger and cargo capacity. The new terms allow airlines from both nations to operate up to 14 weekly passenger-combination flights and up to 10 weekly all-cargo flights, granting access to all points within each respective country.

Furthermore, cargo carriers have been granted fifth-freedom rights, which enables them to operate flights between two foreign countries if the flight originates or terminates in the airline’s home country, specifically covering destinations in Africa, the European Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States. This expansion follows a period of growth in bilateral merchandise trade, which reached $1.2 billion in 2025.
