Singapore, Costa Rica sign open skies agreement

Xinhua, January 13, 2015 Adjust font size:

Singapore has concluded an Open Skies Agreement (OSA) with Costa Rica, under which designated airlines will be able to fly between the two countries via and beyond to any third country without restrictions in capacity, frequency or aircraft type, Ministry of Transport said on Tuesday.

The OSA was signed by Minister for Transport Lui Tuck Yew and Minister of Public Works and Transport of the Republic of Costa Rica Dr Carlos Segnini Villalobos in Singapore.

"The signing of this OSA reflects the warm bilateral ties between Singapore and Costa Rica, and underscores both countries' commitment to establish a fully liberal air services framework which allows our carriers to react quickly to market demand when opportunities arise," Said Lui.

With the Singapore-Costa Rica OSA, Singapore has concluded Air Services Agreements with more than 130 states and territories, including more than 60 OSAs. Endi
