Singapore: India and Singapore have signed a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enhance air connectivity. The unresolved issue of "fifth freedom" will be taken up later.
The "fifth freedom" is a right that enables the airlines of any two countries to pick up passengers in each other's territories for destinations in other nations. India is keen to operate passenger flights to Australia and New Zealand through Singapore.
Under the new MoU, signed here this week, Singapore's air carriers "will have rights to fly to 18 identified tourist destinations in India without any restrictions." India obtained reciprocal rights. The new accord would not affect the existing civil aviation links between the two. This was similar to the one India signed with Thailand earlier this year.
