Singapore has signed open skies agreements with Sierra Leone, Slovenia and Tanzania on the sidelines of the 38th session of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Assembly held in Canada from September 23 - 30.

Under each of the agreements, designated airlines will be able to fly between Singapore and the other country, as well as via and beyond to any third country, without restrictions in capacity, frequency or aircraft type.

Lui Tuck Yew, Singapore ’s Minister for Transport, said: “The agreements underscore Singapore ’s commitment to establishing a liberal air services framework in Singapore and internationally, so that carriers are able to freely respond to market demand and when opportunities arise, to better serve the travelling public and the needs of industry.”

With the three new agreements, Singapore now has air services agreements with more than 120 countries and territories in the world, including more than 50 open skies agreements-VNA.
