The civil aviation ministry has proposed air service agreements (ASAs) with Panama and Columbia to help state-owned Air India enter into marketing alliance with their flag carriers.
Official sources familiar with the development said the ministry had already sent the proposals to the external affairs ministry.
With national carrier planning to have code-share agreement with most Star Alliance members, the aviation ministry has scrambled to facilitate the partnership.
In May, the ministry decided to widen the ambit of aviation agreement with New Zealand and agreed to allow designated carriers from the two sides to operate code-share services without “5th freedom” rights using Singapore, Hong Kong and two other cities in Australia as intermediate points.
“We have proposed ASAs with Panama and Columbia. We are waiting for their response,” said an official, adding a proposal to revise ASA with Ethiopia was also under consideration.
