Chief of US aviation agency visits India and Dubai

Washington: The head of the Federal Aviation Administration left Friday for India, where she will sign an aviation cooperation agreement next week.
FAA Administrator Marion Blakey said the agreement she expects to sign Monday in India is only the second such pact the United States has. The other is with China.
``This will be very much a two-way street,'' she said. Blakey predicted India would benefit from expert US advice on aviation regulation and facilities, and the United States would learn from India's rapid installation of new technology like satellite-based aircraft monitoring.
After three days in India, she will travel Dubai for talks with its aviation officials and air carriers.
She told reporters in a teleconference Friday it was important for the FAA to make such contacts to ensure smooth interaction with two rapidly growing aviation markets.
