SINGAPORE: Singapore has concluded Open Skies Agreements with Barbados, Brazil, Jamaica and Rwanda.
The agreements were reached at the International Civil Aviation Organisation Air Services Negotiation Conference 2010 in Jamaica.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) said the Open Skies Agreements with Barbados and Jamaica are the first between Singapore and the Caribbean Community.
The Singapore-Brazil Agreement comes on the back of the Singapore-Peru Agreement concluded in 2009.
Singapore's agreement with Rwanda is the Republic's second with an African country.
The Open Skies Agreements allow carriers the full flexibility to introduce services when market opportunities arise.
CAAS added that the carriers are also able to tap on traffic from and to third countries to improve the commercial viability of their operations.
Direct air links with Singapore will allow businesses in Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbeans to access more markets by tapping on Singapore's connectivity to the Asia Pacific region.
CAAS said this would reinforce the growing people and trade flows between these regions and the Asia Pacific.
Apart from sealing Open Skies Agreements, Singapore and Fiji also concluded an open skies framework for cargo services and expanded traffic rights entitlements for passenger operations between and beyond both countries.
