India Liberalizes Air Treaties with Vietnam, Uzbekistan

14 Nov 2024 CW Team

India has agreed to liberalize its air transport agreements with Vietnam and Uzbekistan, marking a significant step towards enhancing air connectivity and fostering stronger bilateral relations with both countries. The move is expected to boost travel and trade opportunities, providing airlines from all three nations with more flexibility in operating international flights.

Under the new arrangements, the scope for operating additional flights between India, Vietnam, and Uzbekistan will increase. The liberalization of these air treaties will allow airlines to access more routes, leading to a surge in air traffic between the countries, along with potential benefits for tourism, cargo transport, and economic cooperation.

The agreement with Vietnam and Uzbekistan will also make it easier for airlines to operate on a code-share basis and cooperate in a variety of commercial activities, including expanded cargo services. Vietnam, a growing destination for Indian tourists, and Uzbekistan, which has seen increasing interest in trade and business ties with India, are expected to experience increased travel flows as a result.

The liberalization is part of India's broader effort to promote connectivity with key global markets and align with its vision of transforming the aviation sector. It aligns with the ongoing push for expanding India's aviation network and positioning it as a major player in international air travel.
