Saudi Arabia, Barbados Sign Agreement on Air Transportation Services

The governments of Saudi Arabia and Barbados have signed an air transportation agreement aiming to set regulatory frameworks for safe air travel.

 Minister of Transport and Logistic Services Eng. Saleh bin Nasser Al-Jasser signed the agreement with the government of Barbados, represented by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade and Senior Minister Coordinating the Productive Sector, Kerrie Symmonds.

 The agreement complements the 1944 Convention on International Civil Aviation, also known as the Chicago Convention, which regulates international civil aviation based on the principles of fair and equal opportunities.

 The agreement aims to establish regulatory frameworks for air transport between the two countries in a safe, organized, and sound manner, in accordance with the principles set forth by the Chicago Convention.

 The deal keeps pace with the developments in regulation between Saudi Arabia and Barbados in this regard, including the regulation of granting air transport rights and implementing standards for designation and licensing of internationally operating airlines.

 The agreement aims to enhance aviation safety and civil aviation security between the two sides, promote fair competition rules, and serve the joint economic interests of national carriers.

 It further strengthens the national carriers’ active and continuous participation in serving the air transport market between Saudi Arabia and Barbados by applying modern market access patterns and encompassing all forms of air transport.

 The agreement is part of the objectives of the civil aviation strategy, aimed at building international partnerships and signing new bilateral agreements that support the strategy’s ambitious goals.

 The strategy also aims to enhance the Kingdom's air connectivity to 250 destinations worldwide, making it a global logistics hub, and to transport 330 million passengers annually by 2030.
