Guyana and The Bahamas have signed an open skies Air Services Agreement to promote and facilitate airlines to operate air services between the two countries, as well as other countries, a release from the Ministry of Public Works announced yesterday.
The Agreement was inked on Monday in Nassau with Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Tourism, Investments and Aviation, Isaac Chester Cooper, signing for The Bahamas, and Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill signing on behalf of Guyana.
The release explained that the Agreement is consistent with the government’s model of open skies agreements, and facilitates acceptance of the Principal Place of Business as a means of designating an airline in contrast to the traditional restrictive requirement of substantial ownership and effective control by nationals of either country.
