Guyana & Morocco sign air services agreement
(Kaieteur News) – The Government of Guyana and Kingdom of Morocco, on Thursday, signed an Open Skies Air Services Agreement which is aimed at promoting and facilitating the operation of air services between the two countries, as well as beyond to any third country.
The Agreement was signed by Morocco’s Minister of Transport and Logistics with responsibilities for Aviation, Abdessamad Kayouh, and Director General of the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), Lt. Col. (ret’d) Egbert Field, A.A., at the ICAO Global Implementation Support Symposium (GISS), in Marrakech, Morocco.

According to the GCAA, in addition to standard provisions covering Grant of Traffic Rights, Designation and Authorisation, User Charges, Recognition of Certificates and Licences, Customs Duties and Other Similar Charges, Tariffs, and Commercial Activities, among others, the Agreement presents a significant opportunity for airlines of both countries to expand their air connectivity and broaden the routes they serve.
Further, the Agreement establishes the legal framework to open market access for airlines, with the aim of enhancing competitive air transport services, boosting trade, and driving economic growth between the two nations. “It is anticipated that the Agreement will stimulate airlines’ interest in considering Guyana as part of their international route networks. Currently, there are no direct flights between Guyana and the Kingdom of Morocco,” GCAA stated.
The new Agreement complements the more than 50 Air Services Agreements Guyana has established with other ICAO States to develop air connectivity among States.
Guyana and the Kingdom of Morocco established diplomatic relations on December 14, 2012.
