Oct 1, 2008 (newstodate): An EU delegation has met with the Indian government to sign a Horizontal Aviation Agreement which will restore legal certainty to the bilateral air services agreements between India and 26 EU Member States.
The new agreement will remove nationality restrictions in the bilateral air services agreements between EU Member States and India, allowing any EU airline to operate flights between India and any EU Member State where it is established and where a bilateral agreement with India exists and traffic rights are available.
The European Commission and India have also agreed on a Joint Action Plan setting out the priorities and modalities for future technical cooperation in a broad range of aviation areas including aviation safety, security, airports and air traffic management, environment and economic regulation.
