“THE Solomon Islands Government has signed historical air service agreements with the governments of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Turkey, the Prime Minister’s Office said.
“Minister of Communication & Aviation Peter Shanel Agovaka signed the agreements recently which now open up the opportunity for both countries and their designated carriers to formalise services between themselves.
“The partnerships and codeshares with such long haul carriers can benefit Solomon Airlines.
“However, flights directly between Solomon Islands and these countries will be operational in the near future because of the level of aviation activities in Solomon Islands,” Minister Agovaka outlined.
“Solomon Islands signed the ASA/MOU with the Government of United Arab Emirates on 30th September 2019 and signed a similar MOU with Turkey on the 3rd of October 2019.
“Ongoing positive discussions are also in place between the National Government and the Republic of Indonesia to also sign a similar MOU before the end of this year.”
