NEW DELHI: India and Malaysia have agreed to allow air carriers from both the countries to fly to more destinations in each other's territories besides agreeing to an open sky policy on air cargo services.
After two-day deliberations between civil aviation officials of the two nations, wherein the Indian delegation was led by Civil Aviation Secretary Ashok Chawla, both the countries signed an MoU allowing the carriers to operate between 18 destinations between India and Malaysia.
"In order to enhance the air services operations and to make them commercially viable, provision of a code-share arrangement has been agreed to," according to an official release here.
"The capacity entitlement for the designated airlines of both sides has been significantly liberalised, which will lead to progressive enhancement of traffic rights over the next two years," it said.
Among the 18 destinations from where Malaysian carriers can now operate include Patna, Lucknow, Guwahati, Gaya, Varanasi, Goa, Jaipur, Kochi, Amritsar and Bhubaneswar, the release said.
"The agreement will pave way for growth in air operations between India and Malaysia. As a direct outcome of these talks, the operations of Air India Express on India Malaysia route are likely to commence soon," it said.
Another important outcome of these discussions is reflected in the form of agreement on an open sky policy without any restrictions on cargo services between the two countries, the release added.
