Oman Inks Three Air Services Agreements
& MoU

Montreal,
23 Sep (ONA) — The Sultanate of Oman, represented by the Civil Aviation
Authority (CAA), signed three bilateral air transport agreements today, with
the Syrian Arab Republic, the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire, and the Cooperative
Republic of Guyana. The agreements were signed on the sidelines of the 42nd
session of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Assembly, held
in Montreal, Canada.

A
memorandum of understanding was also signed with the Arab Republic of Egypt,
aimed at enhancing cooperation in civil aviation and expanding operating rights
for national airlines.

The
agreements and MoU were signed on behalf of Oman by Eng. Naif bin Ali Al Abri, President
of the Civil Aviation Authority, who emphasized that these initiatives reflect
Oman’s ongoing efforts to reinforce its position as a regional logistics hub,
in support of national objectives and in furtherance of economic and trade ties
with partner states.

He
clarified that the bilateral agreements will enhance the overall framework
governing air transport relations between Oman and the respective countries,
incorporating technical and regulatory provisions as well as detailed schedules
of air routes available to carriers operating flights between the parties.

The
MoU specifically provide for expanded operating rights for the Omani national carriers
and increased frequencies on routes between Oman and Egypt. This is expected to
boost air traffic flows, enhance connectivity, and create greater opportunities
for passenger and cargo transport, alongside associated aviation services.

It
is noteworthy that Oman is currently party to air services agreements with 130
countries worldwide, underscoring its continued commitment to opening new
horizons for partnership and economic integration, supporting the growth of its
national airlines, and promoting tourism and investment exchanges with global
partners.
