Kuwait signs air services agreement with Canada

Under this first-time agreement, carriers from both countries are permitted to serve destinations of their choice in the other country. The agreement provides rights for each country to designate any number of carriers to operate scheduled air services between the two countries, and includes a flexible pricing regime, as well as strong safety and security provisions. The agreement also provides for a flexible regime for all-cargo services.

In addition to operating their own aircraft, carriers can provide codesharing services with no limitations on frequency of flights.

This new agreement, which takes effect immediately, is the first to be finalized with a member of the GCC following the Canadian Government's recently announced 'Blue Sky' international air transportation policy.
