New Delhi: After the United States, Germany and Canada too want to sign agreements with India allowing them to have their own flying marshals on-board flights into and outside the country.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) allowing the same for Germany is likely to be signed during the visit of the German Chancellor Angela Merkel in the first week of October.
"With Germany, we will be signing it soon. No dates have, however, come for the MoU with Canada," said a civil aviation ministry, who did not wish to be identified. Officials explained that the pact between India and Germany allows both countries to have air marshals on board Indian and German flights. "It will be the same as with the US," said the ministry official. India had signed this agreement with the US in 2003.
