Singapore, Barbados ink Open Skies Agreement

Singapore's Ministry of Transport said on Wednesday that it had concluded an Open Sky Agreement with Barbados, an island country situated in the Caribbean area. The deal was inked between the city-state's Minister for Transport Lui Tuck Yew and Maxine McClean, visiting Minister for Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade of Barbados in Singapore. Under the agreement, designated airlines will be able to fly between Singapore and Barbados, via and beyond to any third country, without restrictions in capacity, frequency or aircraft type. "The signing of this Open Sky Agreement reflects the warm bilateral ties between Singapore and Barbados, and underscores both countries' commitment to establishing a fully liberal air services framework allowing carriers to react quickly to market demand when opportunities arise," Lui said in a statement.
