Sri Lanka, Italy agreement to operate upto 14 scheduled passenger flights weekly

The Cabinet of Ministers has approved a long-pending proposal to sign a bi-partial civil aviation agreement between Sri Lanka and Italy, paving the way for enhanced air connectivity between the two nations, Government Information Department said.

Discussions regarding this agreement began in 2018, with initial Cabinet approval granted on July 24 of that year. However, the agreement remained unsigned until both Governments recently emphasised the importance of finalising the deal without further delay.

Under the proposed agreement, airlines from both countries will be permitted to operate up to 14 scheduled passenger flights per week and seven scheduled cargo flights per week on agreed routes using any type of aircraft.

The initiative, spearheaded by the Transport, Highways, Port, and Civil Aviation Minister aims to strengthen bilateral ties, boost tourism and expand trade opportunities between Sri Lanka and Italy. – Daily News
