Singapore  - Singapore has concluded two separate Open Skies Agreements (OSAs) with Romania and Zambia to allow full flexibility on air services, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) announced Friday.

The OSA between Singapore and Romania allows Singapore carriers to operate any number of passenger and cargo flights between Singapore and points in Romania, as well as beyond Romania to any other city in the world.

Likewise, Romania carriers might operate any number of flights to and beyond Singapore.

The Singapore-Zambia OSA similarly allows both passenger and cargo carriers of Singapore and Zambia to operate any number of flights between and beyond both countries to any other city worldwide. This is Singapore's first OSA with an African country.

Both open skies pacts were inked during the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Air Services Negotiation Conference held in Dubai from November 24-27,
2008.

With these two agreements, Singapore has concluded OSAs with more than 30 countries.

To date, Changi Airport is served by 82 scheduled airlines operating more than 4,470 weekly scheduled flights to 189 cities in 60 countries. (dpa)
