Sri Lanka signs aviation agreement with the Netherlands to launch direct flights between countries

A bilateral aviation agreement aiming at launching direct passenger and cargo flights between Sri Lanka and the Netherlands was recently signed by the two countries.
The new agreement is expected to further enhance tourism, education, trade, investment, agriculture, and cultural ties between Sri Lanka and the Netherlands.
Sri Lanka’s Minister of Tourism Prasanna Ranatunga had proposed the agreement that was signed with the aim of economic development.
The Chicago Convention, signed in 1944, mandates that airlines enter into agreements to operate international commercial flights between two or more states and there are currently 193 countries registered with the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), according to reports.
Diplomatic relations between Sri Lanka and the Netherlands date back to 1951.
It has been decided during the preliminary discussions to operate 14 flights a week between Sri Lanka and the Netherlands.
SriLankan Airlines and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines in the Netherlands are also to be used for this purpose, Minister Ranatunga has been quoted as saying.

OSL take:

Many international airlines have increased the number of flights operated to Sri Lanka. The increasing international airline industry has created a host of new opportunities in the development of Sri Lanka’s airport and aviation industry. It is also part of the country’s overall development programme of Sri Lanka. Given the increasing business potential in Sri Lanka and the overall development programme in the country, foreign businesses/investors could explore the growing opportunities in the country.
