Washington, DC, US (PANA) - The U.S.-Tanzania Air Transport Agreement, which establishes a modern civil aviation relationship with Tanzania consistent with U.S. Open Skies international aviation policy and with commitments to high standards of aviation safety and security, went into force on 10 June, the US State Department has said.
A media note said the agreement includes provisions that allow for "unrestricted capacity and frequency of services, open route rights, a liberal charter regime, and open code-sharing opportunities".
The note said the agreement is also a step forward in liberalizing the international civil aviation sector in Africa.
"It further expands our strong economic and commercial partnership; promotes people-to-people ties; and creates new opportunities for airlines, travel companies, and customers."
The US said with this agreement, air carriers can provide more affordable, convenient, and efficient air services to travellers and shippers, which in turn promotes tourism and commerce.
