Singapore and Canada have initialed a new air transport agreement, following bilateral air services consultations in Ottawa, Canada recently.
Under the new bilateral agreement, Singapore carriers are allowed to operate passenger and all-cargo flights as frequently as desired between Singapore and Canada, via selected intermediate points.
In addition, they may code-share either with one another, with any Canadian or third country airlines. Canadian carriers enjoy similar traffic rights and code-share privileges under the reciprocal arrangement.
"This new agreement represents a significant step in further strengthening the bilateral relations between Singapore and Canada. It demonstrates our two countries’ commitment to pursue a common goal of achieving a more liberal aviation framework in the global aviation arena," said Mr Lim Kim Choon, DG and CEO of the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore.
