Singapore, Jamaica ink open-skies agreement

SINGAPORE and Jamaica have signed an Open Skies Agreement (OSA) which will pave the way for designated airlines to fly between the two countries, as well as via and beyond a third country, without curbs in capacity, frequency or aircraft.

Minister for Transport Lui Tuck Yew said: "The signing of this OSA reflects the warm bilateral ties between Singapore and Jamaica, 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."

A statement from his ministry said the OSA was signed on Monday between him and Morais Guy, Minister without Portfolio in Jamaica's Ministry of Transport, Works and Housing, on the sidelines of the 28th International Maritime Organisation Assembly in London.
