PH, UAE sign enhanced air services deal

THE Philippines and United Arab Emirates (UAE) signed a new memorandum of understanding (MOU) on air services that enhanced the exchange of traffic rights between the two countries and raised the number of flights weekly for each country from 28 to 35.

“The parties agreed to increase the maximum number of flights per week for each country from the current 28 flights to 35, subject to the condition that the UAE carrier operating such additional flights to Manila is bound to also operate separately to Clark or Cebu within one year from signing of the MOU,” CAB executive director Carmelo Arcilla said.
