(MENAFN) The UAE, represented by the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), announced signing an Open Skies agreement with Sierra Leone’s government, Gulf News reported.
The two countries said that they have mutually agreed that any number of designated airlines of both parties will have the right to perform scheduled air services between the two countries, thus allowing full flexibility on the routes, capacity, number of frequencies and types of aircraft, in any type of service, passenger or cargo.
The MoU also includes the exercise of fifth freedom traffic rights, as well as an agreement by both sides to allow unrestricted non-scheduled/charter operations between the two countries.
The GCAA stressed the importance of open sky agreements like the one signed with Sierra Leone, which will contribute to boost trade, tourism and investment between the UAE and Africa.
The UAE, which currently ranks second internationally in terms of Open Skies agreements, has air services agreements with over 164 countries, of which 87 are Open Skies agreements.
