Georgia and Argentina have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on air services, allowing designated airlines from both countries to operate scheduled flights between the two states.
The document was signed by the Director of Georgia’s Civil Aviation Agency and Argentina’s Secretary of Transport.
The Civil Aviation Agency says the agreement allows both sides to designate airlines to operate scheduled air services without restrictions on routes between any points in Georgia and Argentina.
The MoU also enables airlines from the two countries to sign codeshare agreements with each other and with carriers from third countries. The agency says this will allow airlines to offer passengers more flexible routes and single-ticket travel options through partner transit carriers, including in cases where direct flights are not available.
The agreement aligns with the strategic goals of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), which promote the liberalization of air transport, market access, and improved global connectivity, the agency says.
The Civil Aviation Agency adds that such agreements help Georgia establish a flexible legal framework to expand its presence in distant markets and strengthen future economic and tourism ties.
