The MoU also lets airlines from India and New Zealand operate cargo services using different kinds of planes. India and New Zealand have reaffirmed their dedication to boosting collaboration in the field of civil aviation by officially signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). According to the announcement made on Tuesday, the key points of this crucial agreement were explained, covering aspects like planning new flight paths, sharing codeshare services, traffic permissions, and capacity rights.
As per the MoU, airlines chosen by New Zealand can run as many flights as they want with different types of planes. They also have the rights to fly to and from six important cities in India: New Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Kolkata.
Scindia expressed his optimism about the agreement, stating, “We have signed an MoU that has opened the possibilities of furthering air transport between our two countries.” He underscored the adoption of an open sky policy, the expansion of designated points of call, and the addition of intermediate points to bolster connectivity.
Under the terms of the agreement, India’s designated airlines also gain extensive rights. They can operate an unrestricted number of services with diverse aircraft types, securing third and fourth freedom traffic rights for routes to and from Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and three additional destinations in New Zealand, as designated by the Indian Government.
The MoU additionally permits the designated airlines of both India and New Zealand to operate all-cargo services with diverse aircraft types. These services enjoy third, fourth, and fifth freedom traffic rights for routes traveling through any intermediate points and extending to any beyond points, irrespective of the points originally specified in the route schedule. This multifaceted agreement is poised to reshape the landscape of civil aviation cooperation between India and New Zealand.
