AKIPRESS.COM - Singapore's civil aviation regulator has inked two separate agreements covering air services and aviation MRO with its counterparts in Mongolia, FlightGlobal reports.

Singapore will expand a bilateral air services agreement with Mongolia, which was first signed 30 years ago. 

The expanded agreement will allow Singaporean and Mongolian carriers to operate unlimited third- and fourth-freedom flights between both countries, as well as up to 14 weekly flights on fifth-freedom traffic rights. 

The CAAS notes that this is an upgrade from the earlier agreement, which only allowed up to thrice-weekly flights on third-, fourth- and fifth-freedom traffic rights. At present there are no airlines from either countries operating direct flights between Singapore and Mongolia. 

The agreement was signed on the sidelines of the 58th Conference of Directors General of Civil Aviation, Asia and Pacific Regions, which was held in Dhaka.
