Air services agreement between Guyana and India approved

The Union Cabinet chaired by India’s Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi approved the signing of an Air Services Agreement between the Governments of Guyana and India, a statement issued by the South Asia nation’s public relations bureau confirmed on Wednesday.

The Air Services Agreement will come into force following the exchange of diplomatic notes between the countries after confirmation they have completed the required internal procedures.

“The signing of Air Services Agreement with Guyana will enable a framework for provision of air services between the two countries,” the statement asserted.

An Air Services Agreement (ASA) is a bilateral agreement that allows international commercial air transport services between signatories.

The bilateral system has its basis under the Chicago Convention and associated multilateral treaties. The Chicago Convention was signed in December 1944 and has governed international air services since then.
