UAE represented by General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) recently inked an open skies agreement with the government of Cuba, as reported by WAM. The new agreement allows UAE and Cuban national airlines to operate an unlimited number of flights between the two countries, and to plan flights to any points between the points of origin and destination, said GCAA.
Under the agreement, signed during a recent GCAA delegation’s two-day visit to Cuba, UAE designated all of its national airlines to conduct international air transportation with Cuba.
Cuba visit, part of a GCAA strategy to expand the base of air services agreements, will serve the national airlines, increase trade exchange with other countries as well as boost interaction with their peoples, said GCAA director-general, Saif Mohammed Al Suwaidi.
“GCAA in collaboration with airlines and local governments seeks to sign and continuously upgrade more agreements with other countries,” he added. So far, UAE have signed more than 116 bilateral air services agreements with other countries, of which 114 are open skies agreements.
