08:35 ¢ 09.04.13
Turkey and Russia signed a civil aviation agreement on Monday in order
to enhance cooperation with regard to airspace use, code sharing and
increasing the number of fights between the two countries, Hurriyet
Daily News reported.
After bilateral negotiations between the Turkish Ministry of
Transport's Directorate General of Civil Aviation (SHGM) and Russia's
Civil Aviation Authority between April 3 and 4, the two sides
concluded an aviation agreement, as SHGM made public yesterday.
As the agreement will increase the frequency of, and remove
restrictions for, flights between several Turkish and
Russianprovinces, the number of destinations served by flights to and
from Russia is set to increase, notably to include locations in
Turkey's provinces of Samsun, NevÅ?ehir and Gaziantep. Turkey's airline
companies will be able to fly to the Commonwealth of Independent
States (Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova,
Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Russia) through Russian airspace without
any restrictions on frequency, according to the agreement.
Turkey will be allowed to benefit from trans-Siberian airspace for its
flights to the Far East (Tokyo, Osaka, Bishkek, and Ulaanbaatar),
although limited to a frequency of 21 flights per week.
The agreement also allows the designated companies to engage in code
sharing applications along with third parties.
Turkey and Russia signed 11 agreements in many fields during Russian
President Vladimir Putin's visit to Turkey in December. As the two
countries bid to increase the $32 billion annual bilateral trade to an
ambitious $100 billion, energy ties dominated the talks.
There are around 3,000 Turkish companies active in Russia, according
to Moscow sources.
After the lifting of visas in 2011, some 3.5 million Russian tourists
have visited Turkey last year.
