Oman to host air transport negotiations with EU

Muscat: The Sultanate will host the first round of air transport negotiation between Oman and the European Union on March 26.

The two-day event will take place at the Public Authority for Civil Aviation (PACA).

In a statement, PACA said, " The European delegation includes negotiators representing the Directorate General of Transport of the European Commission, along with representatives from a number of EU countries."

The delegation of the Sultanate will be headed by the Public Authority for Civil Aviation with the participation of the airline carriers of the Sultanate, Oman Air and Salam Air.

“It is hoped that during the first round of negotiations, the mechanism for entering into a comprehensive air transport agreement between the Sultanate and all the EU countries will be discussed, instead of a bilateral air agreement between the Sultanate and each European country separately," added PACA.
