PH signs first air accord with Ethiopia

THE governments of the Philippines and Ethiopia signed an Air Services Agreement (ASA) on Wednesday under which the two governments agreed to have seven flights a week between Manila and Ethiopia and unlimited flights between Ethiopia and other airports in the Philippines.

“The Philippines and Ethiopia signed yesterday in Manila an Air Services Agreement that defined the aviation relationship and the exchange of traffic rights between the two countries. This is landmark event because there was no ASA between the two countries prior to this,” Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) executive director Carmelo Arcilla said in a text message.
