Singapore and India to expand air services

Singapore: Singapore and India have signed an agreement to expand air services between both countries, the city-state said Wednesday.
Officials concluded two days of discussions this week in New Delhi with the signing of a memorandum of understanding that will pave the way for carriers of both sides to increase the number of flights between Singapore and the Indian cities of Chennai, Bangalore and New Delhi, a Ministry of Transport statement said.
The agreement also grants airlines from both countries additional "fifth freedom" traffic rights — or the ability to pick up passengers or cargo on each other's territory en route to other destinations — and makes possible the establishment of a new air link between the southern Indian city of Coimbatore and Singapore, the statement said.
