The Singapore-Zambia OSA similarly allows both passenger and cargo carriers of each country to operate any number of flights between and beyond both countries to any other city worldwide. This is Singapore’s first OSA with an African country.
Both open skies pacts were inked during the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Air Services Negotiation Conference held in Dubai, in November 2008. The inaugural event was part of ICAO’s effort to implement a “one-stop shop” platform to improve the efficiency of the bilateral negotiation process through a central meeting place where countries can conduct several bilateral air services consultations with one another. With these two agreements, Singapore has concluded OSAs with more than 30 countries.
