THE Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CS) confirmed that air Service Agreements (ASA) had been signed with Cuba, along with the Dominican Republic, Kazakhstan, Seychelles and Switzerland, reported AeroTime Hub of Vilnius, Lithuania.
The agreements were formalized at the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Air Services Negotiation Event (ICAN), which took place in Kuala Lumpur from October 21 to October 25.
According to CS' statement the ASA with Cuba 'allows airlines of both countries to operate air services without restrictions on capacity, frequency and routing'.
Meanwhile, an existing agreement with Kazakhstan has been upgraded, in order to 'allow airlines of both countries to carry passengers and cargo via any intermediate points and to any beyond points between the two countries, without restrictions on aircraft type, capacity and routing'.
Previously, the agreement only allowed airlines to carry passengers and cargo between the two countries.
ASAs signed with the Dominican Republic in 2016, Seychelles in 2012 and Switzerland in 1969 have also been updated.
On the three updates, CASS said: 'The ASAs modernise the previous agreements to meet the current needs of the aviation industry, including updated administrative procedures to remove outdated regulations and facilitate business opportunities.
They also include provisions allowing airlines to engage in intermodal code-sharing arrangements with surface transport providers.'
