Guyana and the Kingdom of Morocco have signed an Open Skies Air Services Agreement which is aimed at promoting and facilitating the operation of air services between the two countries.
The Agreement was signed by the Minister of Transport and Logistics of Morocco, Abdessamad Kayouh, and the Director General of the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), Lt. Col. (ret’d) Egbert Field, at the International Civil Aviation Global Implementation Support Symposium in Marrakech, Morocco.
A release from the GCAA today explained that the agreement covers areas such as Grant of Traffic Rights, Designation and Authorisation, User Charges, Recognition of Certificates and Licenses, Customs Duties and Other Similar Charges, Tariffs, and Commercial Activities, among others.
The GCAA said the agreement presents a significant opportunity for airlines of both countries to expand their air connectivity and broaden the routes they serve.
The Agreement establishes the legal framework to open market access for airlines, with the aim of enhancing competitive air transport services, boosting trade, and driving economic growth between the two nations.
“It is anticipated that the Agreement will stimulate airlines’ interest in considering Guyana as part of their international route networks. Currently, there are no direct flights between Guyana and the Kingdom of Morocco,” the GCAA noted.
The Agreement complements the more than 50 Air Services Agreements Guyana has established with other ICAO States to develop air connectivity among States.
Guyana and the Kingdom of Morocco established diplomatic relations on December 14, 2012.
