A preliminary pact has been signed by India with Greece for bilateral Air Services Agreement which proposes to allow unlimited points of call for domestic airlines in the European nation.

The government that seeks to improve the international air connectivity for Indian carriers, has entered into air services pacts with many countries besides making efforts to re-negotiate existing agreements.

R N Choubey, the Civil Aviation Secretary, has said that India and Greece have signed an MoU for Air Services Agreement (ASA) under the ‘open sky’ policy. “We have (proposed) to give six points of call and India will have unlimited points of call in Greece.”

According to him, once inked, it would be the first such ASA with Greece, which is known for its tourist spots and scenic beauty and it is also the first MoU with a country under the provisions of the new civil aviation policy.
