India has plans to have an open sky agreement with the nations, which are within the radius of 5,000 km, said Oman Air Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Paul Gregorowitsch on Thursday.
An open sky agreement refers to an agreement between two nations to allow each other airlines to have an unlimited number of flights, seats, etc between the two countries.
“If the current policy of the Indian Government is to also consider an open sky (agreement) for those destinations which are within 5,000 kilometres materialises, in the next two years, then it will automatically (provide us) a more level environment,” said Gregorowitsch, while briefing a media round table in New Delhi. He was confident that the measure could be put into place by 2020.
Gregorowitsch claimed that he had received information in Oman and that such a decision would be a ‘win-win’ for India as well as for Oman Air, as the airline is planning to include more aircraft and destinations.
However, the move will have to be supported by making available more airports in the country and by allowing military airports for civil use, he added.
According to India’s National Civil Aviation Policy 2016, the country can enter into an agreement for open sky on a mutual basis with the SAARC nations and countries beyond a radius of 5,000-kilometre from New Delhi.
