India may open up skies for EU airlines

New Delhi: India is considering a near Open-Sky arrangement with the European Union.
Under this arrangement, airlines from EU member nations will be allowed to operate flights to India from any of the 25 EU nations regardless of the carrier's country of origin.
The move comes in the wake of a EU decision that allows airlines from its member nations free access to the EU skies and beyond, subject to permission from non-member nations.
Officials said the arrangement would be allowed only on reciprocal basis, with designated Indian carriers being permitted similar unlimited access to EU member nations.
