New Delhi: The Ministry of Civil Aviation has sent for approval the redrafted cabinet note on the bilateral air services agreement with the United Arab Emirates, as suggested by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), to clear the air on the controversy over enhanced seat entitlements made to Abu Dhabi.
A senior official in the ministry said, “We have made the required modifications and incorporated the PMO suggestions. It should come up for post facto approval soon.”
A controversy had erupted over the decision to increase bilateral air traffic rights to the UAE nearly four-fold to 50,000 seats a week, over-riding recommendations of an Inter-Ministerial Group (IMG) to enhance weekly entitlements by 26,000 seats.
